Query very slow on innodb I'm using mysql 5.7 on ubuntu server 14.04, and engine innodb. 
I have a table that are very huge (about 66 Go), I insert and delete from it without problem, but some query of select are taking lot of time till they are abondoned from java. 

When I do select count(*) from TABLE, it take about 10 minutes. 

I export all my database and data to another server ubuntu server 16.04 mysql 5.7, and do the same query and it take about 2 minutes. 

Why this difference happends on the same table and same data? 

Here is my config files :

Let check the the table size after you migration to new db(in new db server).
a reason is 

First server (10 minutes)


your table might not up to day of statistic use ANALYZE TABLE for Innodb.
you mention you table is 66GB but it might not the real table size it may include the dead-tuple(caused by your update,delete operation).

when you migration it to other place this table or whole database will be ANALYZE to the real time statistic.
