Specifying a fields filter

Query operations will, by default, return the matching objects in their entirety (with all their fields). If your documents are large and you only require retrieving a subset of their fields, you can specify a field filter in all query operations, simply by setting the relevant DBObject (or type convertible to DBObject, such as a JSON String, Map, etc.) on the CamelMongoDbFieldsFilter header, constant shortcut: MongoDbConstants.FIELDS_FILTER.

Here is an example that uses MongoDB's BasicDBObjectBuilder to simplify the creation of DBObjects. It retrieves all fields except _id and boringField:

h4. Specifying a fields filter

Query operations will, by default, return the matching objects in their entirety (with all their fields). If your documents are large and you only require retrieving a subset of their fields, you can specify a field filter in all query operations, simply by setting the relevant {{DBObject}} (or type convertible to {{DBObject}}, such as a JSON String, Map, etc.) on the {{CamelMongoDbFieldsFilter}} header, constant shortcut: {{MongoDbConstants.FIELDS_FILTER}}. 

Here is an example that uses MongoDB's BasicDBObjectBuilder to simplify the creation of DBObjects. It retrieves all fields except {{_id}} and {{boringField}}:

{code}
// route: from("direct:findAll").to("mongodb:myDb?database=flights&collection=tickets&operation=findAll")
DBObject fieldFilter = BasicDBObjectBuilder.start().add("_id", 0).add("boringField", 0).get();
Object result = template.requestBodyAndHeader("direct:findAll", (Object) null, MongoDbConstants.FIELDS_FILTER, fieldFilter);

Create/update

operations

insert

Inserts an new object into the MongoDB collection, taken from the IN message body. Type conversion is attempted to turn it into DBObject or a List.
Two modes are supported: single insert and multiple insert. For multiple insert, the endpoint will expect a List, Array or Collections of objects of any type, as long as they are - or can be converted to - DBObject. All objects are inserted at once. The endpoint will intelligently decide which backend operation to invoke (single or multiple insert) depending on the input.

Example:

calling

getLastError()

getCachedLastError()

on

the

...

Note

that

the

must

be

unique

in

the

specify

MongoDB

But

if

you

do

specify

it

and

it

is

not

unique,

the

operation

...

will

fail

for

Camel

to

you

it

is

how

things

work

in

for

If

this

is

a

save

The save operation is equivalent to an upsert (UPdate,

inSERT)

...

operation,

...

where

...

the

record

...

will

...

be

...

updated,

...

and

if

it

doesn't

exist,

it

will

be

inserted,

...

all

in

...

one

...

atomic

...

operation.

...

MongoDB

...

will

...

perform

...

the

...

matching

...

based

...

on

...

the

...

_id

...

field.

...

Beware

...

that

...

in

...

case

...

of

...

an

...

update,

...

the

...

object

...

is

...

replaced

...

entirely

...

and

...

the

...

usage

...

of

...

MongoDB's

...

$modifiers

...

is

...

not

...

permitted.

Therefore,

...

if

you

...

want

...

to

...

manipulate

...

the

...

object

...

if

...

it

...

already

...

exists,

...

you

...

have

...

two

options:

  1. perform

  1. (may

  1. efficient),

  1. alter

  1. it

...

  1. inside

  1. Camel

...

  1. and

  1. then

  1. use

  1. update

...

  1. operation

...

  1. with

  1. the

  1. update

...

  1. at

  1. the

  1. instead.

  1. You

  1. the

h4. update

Update one or multiple records on the collection. Requires a List<DBObject> as the IN message body containing exactly 2 elements:
* Element 1 (index 0) => filter query => determines what objects will be affected, same as a typical query object
* Element 2 (index 1) => update rules => how matched objects will be updated. All [modifier operations|http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Updating#Updating-ModifierOperations] from MongoDB are supported.

{note:title=Multiupdates}
By default, MongoDB will only update 1 object even if multiple objects match the filter query. To instruct MongoDB to update *all* matching records, set the {{CamelMongoDbMultiUpdate}} IN message header to {{true}}.
{note}

A header with key {{CamelMongoDbRecordsAffected}} will be returned ({{MongoDbConstants.RECORDS_AFFECTED}} constant) with the number of records updated (copied from {{WriteResult.getN()}}).

Supports the following IN message headers:

|| Header key || Quick constant || Description (extracted from MongoDB API doc) || Expected type ||
| {{CamelMongoDbMultiUpdate}} | {{MongoDbConstants.MULTIUPDATE}} | If the update should be applied to all objects matching. See [

h2. Tailable Cursor Consumer

MongoDB offers a mechanism to instantaneously consume ongoing data from a collection, by keeping the cursor open just like the {{tail -f}} command of *nix systems. This mechanism is significantly more efficient than a scheduled poll, due to the fact that the server pushes new data to the client as it becomes available, rather than making the client ping back at scheduled intervals to fetch new data. It also reduces otherwise redundant network traffic.

There is only one requisite to use tailable cursors: the collection must be a "capped collection", meaning that it will only hold N objects, and when the limit is reached, MongoDB flushes old objects in the same order they were originally inserted. For more information, please refer to: [

The

Camel

...

MongoDB

...

component

implements

a

tailable

...

cursor

consumer,

...

making

this

...

feature

...

available

...

for

...

you

...

to

...

use

...

in

...

your

...

Camel

...

routes.

...

As

...

new

objects

are

inserted,

...

MongoDB

...

will

...

push

them

...

as

...

DBObjects

...

in

...

natural

...

order

...

to

...

your

tailable

consumer,

who

will

transform

them

to

an

and

will

trigger

your

logic.

...

How

...

the

tailable

...

cursor

...

consumer

...

works

...

To

...

turn

...

a

cursor

...

into

...

a

...

tailable

...

cursor,

...

a

...

few

...

special

...

flags

are

...

to

...

be

...

signalled

...

to

...

MongoDB

...

when

...

first

...

generating

...

the

...

cursor.

...

Once

...

created,

...

the

...

cursor

...

will

...

then

...

stay

...

open

...

and

...

will

...

block

...

upon

...

calling

...

the

...

DBCursor.next()

...

method

...

until

...

new

...

data

...

arrives.

...

However,

...

the

...

MongoDB

...

server

...

reserves

...

itself

...

the

...

right

...

to

...

kill

...

your

...

cursor

...

if

...

new

...

data

...

doesn't

...

appear

...

after

...

an

...

indeterminate

...

period.

...

If

...

you

...

are

...

interested

...

to

...

continue

...

consuming

...

new

...

data,

...

you

...

have

...

to

...

regenerate

...

the

...

cursor.

...

And

...

to

...

do

...

so,

...

you

...

will

...

have

...

to

...

remember

...

the

...

position

...

where

...

you

...

left

...

off

...

or

...

else

...

you

...

will

...

start

...

consuming

...

from

...

the

...

top

...

again.

...

The

...

Camel

...

MongoDB

...

tailable

...

cursor

...

consumer

...

takes

...

care

...

of

...

all

...

these

...

tasks

...

for

...

you.

...

You

...

will

...

just

...

need

...

to

...

provide

...

the

...

key

...

to

...

some

...

field

...

in

...

your

data

...

of

nature,

...

which

...

will

act

as

a

marker

...

to

...

position

...

your

...

cursor

...

every

...

time

...

it

...

is

regenerated,

...

e.g.

...

a

a

sequential

etc.

can

be

of

any

this

"tail

...

in

the

of

this

...

The

consumer

...

will

remember

...

the

last

value

...

of

...

this

field

...

and

...

whenever

...

the

is

to

...

be

...

regenerated,

...

it

...

will

...

run

...

the

with

a

filter

...

like:

so

that

Persistent

...

tail

...

tracking

...

Standard

...

tail

...

tracking

...

is

...

volatile

...

and

...

the

...

last

...

value

...

is

...

only

...

kept

...

in

...

memory.

...

However,

...

in

...

practice

...

you

...

will

...

need

...

to

...

restart

...

your

...

Camel

...

container

...

every

...

now

...

and

...

then,

...

but

...

your

...

last

...

value

...

would

...

then

...

be

...

lost

...

and

...

your

...

tailable

...

cursor

...

consumer

...

would

...

start

...

consuming

...

from

...

the

...

top

...

again,

...

very

...

likely

...

sending

...

duplicate

...

records

...

into

...

your

...

route.

...

To

...

overcome

...

this

...

situation,

...

you

...

can

...

enable

...

the

...

persistent

...

tail

...

tracking

...

feature

...

to

...

keep

...

track

...

of

...

the

...

last

...

consumed

...

increasing

...

value

...

in

...

a

...

special

...

collection

...

inside

...

your

...

MongoDB

...

database

...

too.

...

When

...

the

...

consumer

...

initialises

...

again,

...

it

...

will

...

restore

...

the

...

last

...

tracked

...

value

...

and

...

continue

...

as

...

if

...

nothing

...

happened.

...

The

...

last

...

read

...

value

...

is

...

persisted

...

on

...

two

...

occasions:

...

every

...

time

...

the

...

cursor

...

is

...

regenerated

...

and

...

when

...

the

...

consumer

...

shuts

...

down.

...

We

...

may

...

consider

...

persisting

...

at

...

regular

...

intervals

...

too

...

in

...

the

...

future

...

(flush

...

every

...

5

...

seconds)

...

for

...

added

...

robustness

...

if

...

the

...

demand

...

is

...

there.

...

To

...

request

...

this

...

feature,

...

please

...

open

...

a

...

ticket

...

in

...

the

...

Camel

...

JIRA.

...

Enabling

...

persistent

...

tail

...

tracking

...

To

...

enable

...

this

...

function,

...

set

...

at

...

least

...

the

...

following

...

options

...

on

...

the

...

endpoint

...

URI:

...

  • persistentTailTracking option to true
  • persistentId option to a unique identifier for this consumer, so that the same collection can be reused across many consumers

Additionally, you can set the tailTrackDb, tailTrackCollection and tailTrackField options to customise where the runtime information will be stored. Refer to the endpoint options table at the top of this page for descriptions of each option.

For example, the following route will consume from the "flights.cancellations" capped collection, using "departureTime" as the increasing field, with a default regeneration cursor delay of 1000ms, with persistent tail tracking turned on, and persisting under the "cancellationsTracker" id on the "flights.camelTailTracking",

...

storing

...

the

...

last

...

processed

...

value

...

under

...

the

...

"lastTrackingValue"

...

field

...

(

...

camelTailTracking

...

and

...

lastTrackingValue

...

are

...

defaults).

{
Code Block
}
from("mongodb:myDb?database=flights&collection=cancellations&tailTrackIncreasingField=departureTime&persistentTailTracking=true" + 
     "&persistentId=cancellationsTracker")
	.id("tailableCursorConsumer2")
	.autoStartup(false)
	.to("mock:test");
{code}

Below

...

is

...

another

...

example

...

identical

...

to

...

the

...

one

...

above,

...

but

...

where

...

the

...

persistent

...

tail

...

tracking

...

runtime

...

information

...

will

...

be

...

stored

...

under

...

the

...

"trackers.camelTrackers"

...

collection,

...

in

...

the

...

"lastProcessedDepartureTime"

...

field:

{
Code Block
}
from("mongodb:myDb?database=flights&collection=cancellations&tailTrackIncreasingField=departureTime&persistentTailTracking=true" + 
     "&persistentId=cancellationsTracker&tailTrackDb=trackers&tailTrackCollection=camelTrackers" + 
     "&tailTrackField=lastProcessedDepartureTime")
	.id("tailableCursorConsumer3")
	.autoStartup(false)
	.to("mock:test");
{code}

component

...

provides

the

conversions:

...

Name

From type

To type

How?

fromMapToDBObject

Map

DBObject

constructs a new BasicDBObject via the new BasicDBObject(Map m) constructor

fromBasicDBObjectToMap

BasicDBObject

Map

BasicDBObject already implements Map

fromStringToDBObject

String

DBObject

uses com.mongodb.util.JSON.parse(String

...

s)

...

fromAnyObjectToDBObject

Object 

DBObject 

uses the Jackson library to convert the object to a Map, which is in turn used to initialise a new BasicDBObject

This type converter is auto-discovered, so you don't need to configure anything manually.
