Region-Aware Export & Import

For multi-region databases, --region filters by table locality on export and by manifest region on import.

Export a single region

crdb-dump export --db=mydb --data --data-format=csv --region=us-east1

Only tables whose locality matches us-east1 are exported. Each manifest records the table's region.

Import a single region

crdb-dump load --db=mydb --data-dir=crdb_dump_output/mydb --region=us-east1

Chunks whose manifest region does not match are skipped.

Note

Region metadata comes from SHOW TABLES locality. On a single-region (or non-multi-region) cluster there are no regions to filter on, and --region selects nothing.
