Running Multiple imports from same CSV file

    Can I run multiple imports via cron at the same time from same (single) CSV file stored externally? ie setting same url for all imports but each import will have its own filters.
    If yes will that consume more resources and make import process slow?

    Note
    Each import will have more than 1000 rows
    Query is mainly about using same single CSV file stored externally.

    Hey @nishitmorakhia,

    While we don’t recommend it, you technically can run multiple imports via cron at the same time (with the same file). And, yes, it will be very resource-intensive and your server may fall over or run slow. You’ll just have to run tests and monitor the resources to see if it can handle it.

    Thanks for your fast reply.
    I also would like to know your view based on below 2 scenarios. Both are resource intensive technically.
    But out of the 2 which one is more resource intensive or both uses same amount of resources?
    1) Running multiple cron at the same time using one file
    2 )Running multiple cron at the same time using multiple separate files

    I have been using 2nd scenario since long time and now looking to implement settings based on 1st scenario as it benefits in terms of ease of setup and saving space.

    If the data is the same, both scenarios should use roughly the same resources.
