     - If `tidb_ddl_enable_fast_reorg` is set to `OFF`, `ADD INDEX` is executed as a transaction. If there are many update operations such as `UPDATE` and `REPLACE` in the target columns during the `ADD INDEX` execution, a larger batch size indicates a larger probability of transaction conflicts. In this case, it is recommended that you set the batch size to a smaller value. The minimum value is 32.
     - If the transaction conflict does not exist, or if `tidb_ddl_enable_fast_reorg` is set to `ON`, you can set the batch size to a large value. This makes data backfilling faster but also increases the write pressure on TiKV. For a proper batch size, you also need to refer to the value of `tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt`. See [Interaction Test on Online Workloads and `ADD INDEX` Operations](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/dev/online-workloads-and-add-index-operations) for reference.
     - Starting from v8.3.0, this parameter is supported at the SESSION level. Modifying the parameter at the GLOBAL level will not impact currently running DDL statements. It will only apply to DDLs submitted in new sessions.
