I do not need to do insert updates from many threads. I want to do it from one thread.
My current MySQL architecture is that I have a table with same layout as the main one, to hold new and updated objects.
When there is enough objects, I begin a big INSERT SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and stuff that into the master table.

SAVEPOINT it can roll back to in case of an error.

In a mass-loading application you can often divide the work between
threads in a manner that doesn't cause conflicts.
For example, if the unique key is foobar_id and you have 4 threads,
thread 0 will handle rows where (foobar_id%4)=0, thread 1 takes
(foobar_id%4)=1 etc. Or potentially hash foobar_id before dividing the
work.
I already suggested this in my original post.
