Key Features
Tips
1.If you want to use CDC-written features, recommend enable the upsert-enable configuration.
Description
The MongoDB Connector provides the ability to read and write data from and to MongoDB. This document describes how to set up the MongoDB connector to run data writers against MongoDB.
Supported DataSource Info
In order to use the Mongodb connector, the following dependencies are required. They can be downloaded via install-plugin.sh or from the Maven central repository.
Datasource | Supported Versions | Dependency |
---|---|---|
MongoDB | universal | Download |
Data Type Mapping
The following table lists the field data type mapping from MongoDB BSON type to Seatunnel data type.
Seatunnel Data Type | MongoDB BSON Type |
---|---|
STRING | ObjectId |
STRING | String |
BOOLEAN | Boolean |
BINARY | Binary |
INTEGER | Int32 |
TINYINT | Int32 |
SMALLINT | Int32 |
BIGINT | Int64 |
DOUBLE | Double |
FLOAT | Double |
DECIMAL | Decimal128 |
Date | Date |
Timestamp | Timestamp[Date] |
ROW | Object |
ARRAY | Array |
Tips
1.When using SeaTunnel to write Date and Timestamp types to MongoDB, both will produce a Date data type in MongoDB, but the precision will be different. The data generated by the SeaTunnel Date type has second-level precision, while the data generated by the SeaTunnel Timestamp type has millisecond-level precision.
2.When using the DECIMAL type in SeaTunnel, be aware that the maximum range cannot exceed 34 digits, which means you should use decimal(34, 18).
Sink Options
Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
uri | String | Yes | - | The MongoDB standard connection uri. eg. mongodb://user:password@hosts:27017/database?readPreference=secondary&slaveOk=true. |
database | String | Yes | - | The name of MongoDB database to read or write. |
collection | String | Yes | - | The name of MongoDB collection to read or write. |
schema | String | Yes | - | MongoDB's BSON and seatunnel data structure mapping. |
buffer-flush.max-rows | String | No | 1000 | Specifies the maximum number of buffered rows per batch request. |
buffer-flush.interval | String | No | 30000 | Specifies the maximum interval of buffered rows per batch request, the unit is millisecond. |
retry.max | String | No | 3 | Specifies the max number of retry if writing records to database failed. |
retry.interval | Duration | No | 1000 | Specifies the retry time interval if writing records to database failed, the unit is millisecond. |
upsert-enable | Boolean | No | false | Whether to write documents via upsert mode. |
primary-key | List | No | - | The primary keys for upsert/update. Keys are in ["id","name",...] format for properties. |
transaction | Boolean | No | false | Whether to use transactions in MongoSink (requires MongoDB 4.2+). |
common-options | No | - | Source plugin common parameters, please refer to Source Common Options for details |
Tips
1.The data flushing logic of the MongoDB Sink Connector is jointly controlled by three parameters:
buffer-flush.max-rows
,buffer-flush.interval
, andcheckpoint.interval
.
Data flushing will be triggered if any of these conditions are met.
2.Compatible with the historical parameterupsert-key
. Ifupsert-key
is set, please do not setprimary-key
.
How to Create a MongoDB Data Synchronization Jobs
The following example demonstrates how to create a data synchronization job that writes randomly generated data to a MongoDB database:
# Set the basic configuration of the task to be performed
env {
execution.parallelism = 1
job.mode = "BATCH"
checkpoint.interval = 1000
}
source {
FakeSource {
row.num = 2
bigint.min = 0
bigint.max = 10000000
split.num = 1
split.read-interval = 300
schema {
fields {
c_bigint = bigint
}
}
}
}
sink {
MongoDB{
uri = mongodb://user:password@127.0.0.1:27017
database = "test"
collection = "test"
schema = {
fields {
_id = string
c_bigint = bigint
}
}
}
}
Parameter Interpretation
MongoDB Database Connection URI Examples
Unauthenticated single node connection:
mongodb://127.0.0.0:27017/mydb
Replica set connection:
mongodb://127.0.0.0:27017/mydb?replicaSet=xxx
Authenticated replica set connection:
mongodb://admin:password@127.0.0.0:27017/mydb?replicaSet=xxx&authSource=admin
Multi-node replica set connection:
mongodb://127.0.0..1:27017,127.0.0..2:27017,127.0.0.3:27017/mydb?replicaSet=xxx
Sharded cluster connection:
mongodb://127.0.0.0:27017/mydb
Multiple mongos connections:
mongodb://192.168.0.1:27017,192.168.0.2:27017,192.168.0.3:27017/mydb
Note: The username and password in the URI must be URL-encoded before being concatenated into the connection string.
Buffer Flush
sink {
MongoDB {
uri = "mongodb://user:password@127.0.0.1:27017"
database = "test_db"
collection = "users"
buffer-flush.max-rows = 2000
buffer-flush.interval = 1000
schema = {
fields {
_id = string
id = bigint
status = string
}
}
}
}
Why is Not Recommended to Use Transactions for Operation?
Although MongoDB has fully supported multi-document transactions since version 4.2, it doesn't mean that everyone should use them recklessly. Transactions are equivalent to locks, node coordination, additional overhead, and performance impact. Instead, the principle for using transactions should be: avoid using them if possible. The necessity for using transactions can be greatly avoided by designing systems rationally.
Idempotent Writes
By specifying a clear primary key and using the upsert method, exactly-once write semantics can be achieved.
If primary-key
and upsert-enable
is defined in the configuration, the MongoDB sink will use upsert semantics instead of regular INSERT statements. We combine the primary keys declared in upsert-key as the MongoDB reserved primary key and use upsert mode for writing to ensure idempotent writes.
In the event of a failure, Seatunnel jobs will recover from the last successful checkpoint and reprocess, which may result in duplicate message processing during recovery. It is highly recommended to use upsert mode, as it helps to avoid violating database primary key constraints and generating duplicate data if records need to be reprocessed.
sink {
MongoDB {
uri = "mongodb://user:password@127.0.0.1:27017"
database = "test_db"
collection = "users"
upsert-enable = true
primary-key = ["name","status"]
schema = {
fields {
_id = string
name = string
status = string
}
}
}
}
