 ###See the parameter of pt-archiver.###
 [root@zlm2 :: ~]#pt-archiver --help
 -- Omitted.
 
 ###Parameters demonstration.###
 Indispensible parameter:
 --source [-h|-S] -u -P -D -A
 
 Choose only one below:
 --dest=d -- Usually be used to archive records to another table(can be different instance).
 --purge -- Usually be used to purge records instead of archive them.
 --file=s -- Usually be used to archive records into a file.
 
 Performance ralevant:
 --analyze=s -- Run analyze table after archive.
 --optimize=s -- Run optimize table after archive.
 --ascend-first -- Ascend just first column of index.
 --buffer -- Buffer output to file and flush when commit.
 --bulk-delete -- Delete by chunk.
 --bulk-insert -- Insert by chunk.
 --limit=i -- Rows of per statment when arching,default .
 --txn-size=i -- Rows of per trx,default .
 --primary-key-only -- Merely use primary key.
 
 Infermation output:
 --progress=i  -- Print per i rows.
 --statistics -- Print time statistics.
 
 Others parameters:
 --dry-run -- Just print queries without real doing.
 --retries=i -- Times of when retry,default .
 --no-delete -- Specify not to delete archived records in source table.
 
 ###Take care the rules when specify parameters.###
 Specify at least one of --dest, --file, or --purge. -- There're three mode of achive behavior.
   --ignore and --replace are mutually exclusive.
   --txn-size and --commit-each are mutually exclusive. -- Usually I'd rather use "txn-size" to specify the timing of commit depending amount of transactions.
   --low-priority-insert and --delayed-insert are mutually exclusive.
   --share-lock and --for-update are mutually exclusive.
   --analyze and --optimize are mutually exclusive.  -- I don't recommend use "analyze" or "optimize" when archive tables simultaneously,but afterward does when business not busy.
   --no-ascend and --no-delete are mutually exclusive.
   DSN values in --dest default to values from --source if COPY is yes.

Summary

• pt-achiver is useful when archive your records of big tables.
  
• Make sure that your table has index key on it.Otherwise,it will lead to bad performance when archive.
  
• Plz distinguish these two parameter —— "no-delete"&"purge",they are differently used.
  
• More testing is necessary to make out the performance influenced by different parameter.
