Description

The MongoDB CDC connector allows for reading snapshot data and incremental data from MongoDB database.

Supported DataSource Info

In order to use the Mongodb CDC connector, the following dependencies are required. They can be downloaded via install-plugin.sh or from the Maven central repository.

        role: "strole",
        privileges: [{
            resource: { db: "", collection: "" },
            actions: [
                "splitVector",
                "listDatabases",
                "listCollections",
                "collStats",
                "find",
                "changeStream" ]
        }],
        roles: [
            { role: 'read', db: 'config' }
        ]
    }
);

db.createUser(
  {
      user: 'stuser',
      pwd: 'stpw',
      roles: [
         { role: 'strole', db: 'admin' }
      ]
  }
);

Data Type Mapping

The following table lists the field data type mapping from MongoDB BSON type to Seatunnel data type.

MongoDB BSON Type	SeaTunnel Data Type
ObjectId	STRING
String	STRING
Boolean	BOOLEAN
Binary	BINARY
Int32	INTEGER
Int64	BIGINT
Double	DOUBLE
Decimal128	DECIMAL
Date	DATE
Timestamp	TIMESTAMP
Object	ROW
Array	ARRAY

For specific types in MongoDB, we use Extended JSON format to map them to Seatunnel STRING type.

MongoDB BSON type	SeaTunnel STRING
Symbol	{"_value": {"$symbol": "12"}}
RegularExpression	{"_value": {"$regularExpression": {"pattern": "^9$", "options": "i"}}}
JavaScript	{"_value": {"$code": "function() { return 10; }"}}
DbPointer	{"_value": {"$dbPointer": {"$ref": "db.coll", "$id": {"$oid": "63932a00da01604af329e33c"}}}}

Tips

1.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).

Source Options

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
hosts	String	Yes	-	The comma-separated list of hostname and port pairs of the MongoDB servers. eg. `localhost:27017,localhost:27018`
username	String	No	-	Name of the database user to be used when connecting to MongoDB.
password	String	No	-	Password to be used when connecting to MongoDB.
database	List	Yes	-	Name of the database to watch for changes. If not set then all databases will be captured. The database also supports regular expressions to monitor multiple databases matching the regular expression. eg. `db1,db2`.
collection	List	Yes	-	Name of the collection in the database to watch for changes. If not set then all collections will be captured. The collection also supports regular expressions to monitor multiple collections matching fully-qualified collection identifiers. eg. `db1.coll1,db2.coll2`.
schema		yes	-	The structure of the data, including field names and field types.
connection.options	String	No	-	The ampersand-separated connection options of MongoDB. eg. `replicaSet=test&connectTimeoutMS=300000`.
batch.size	Long	No	1024	The cursor batch size.
poll.max.batch.size	Enum	No	1024	Maximum number of change stream documents to include in a single batch when polling for new data.
poll.await.time.ms	Long	No	1000	The amount of time to wait before checking for new results on the change stream.
heartbeat.interval.ms	String	No	0	The length of time in milliseconds between sending heartbeat messages. Use 0 to disable.
incremental.snapshot.chunk.size.mb	Long	No	64	The chunk size mb of incremental snapshot.
common-options		No	-	Source plugin common parameters, please refer to Source Common Options for details.

Tips:

1.If the collection changes at a slow pace, it is strongly recommended to set an appropriate value greater than 0 for the heartbeat.interval.ms parameter. When we recover a Seatunnel job from a checkpoint or savepoint, the heartbeat events can push the resumeToken forward to avoid its expiration.
2.MongoDB has a limit of 16MB for a single document. Change documents include additional information, so even if the original document is not larger than 15MB, the change document may exceed the 16MB limit, resulting in the termination of the Change Stream operation.
3.It is recommended to use immutable shard keys. In MongoDB, shard keys allow modifications after transactions are enabled, but changing the shard key can cause frequent shard migrations, resulting in additional performance overhead. Additionally, modifying the shard key can also cause the Update Lookup feature to become ineffective, leading to inconsistent results in CDC (Change Data Capture) scenarios.

How to Create a MongoDB CDC Data Synchronization Jobs

CDC Data Print to Client

The following example demonstrates how to create a data synchronization job that reads cdc data from MongoDB and prints it on the local client:

env {
  # You can set engine configuration here
  parallelism = 1
  job.mode = "STREAMING"
  checkpoint.interval = 5000
}

source {
  MongoDB-CDC {
    hosts = "mongo0:27017"
    database = ["inventory"]
    collection = ["inventory.products"]
    username = stuser
    password = stpw
    schema = {
      fields {
        "_id" : string,
        "name" : string,
        "description" : string,
        "weight" : string
      }
    }
  }
}

# Console printing of the read Mongodb data
sink {
  Console {
    parallelism = 1
  }
}

CDC Data Write to MysqlDB

The following example demonstrates how to create a data synchronization job that reads cdc data from MongoDB and write to mysql database:

env {
  # You can set engine configuration here
  parallelism = 1
  job.mode = "STREAMING"
  checkpoint.interval = 5000
}

source {
  MongoDB-CDC {
    hosts = "mongo0:27017"
    database = ["inventory"]
    collection = ["inventory.products"]
    username = stuser
    password = stpw
    schema = {
      fields {
        "_id" : string,
        "name" : string,
        "description" : string,
        "weight" : string
      }
    }
  }
}

sink {
  jdbc {
    url = "jdbc:mysql://mysql_cdc_e2e:3306"
    driver = "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver"
    user = "st_user"
    password = "seatunnel"

    generate_sink_sql = true
    # You need to configure both database and table
    database = mongodb_cdc
    table = products
    primary_keys = ["_id"]
  }
}

Format of real-time streaming data

{
   _id : { <BSON Object> },        // Identifier of the open change stream, can be assigned to the 'resumeAfter' parameter for subsequent resumption of this change stream
   "operationType" : "<operation>",        // The type of change operation that occurred, such as: insert, delete, update, etc.
   "fullDocument" : { <document> },      // The full document data involved in the change operation. This field does not exist in delete operations
   "ns" : {   
      "db" : "<database>",         // The database where the change operation occurred
      "coll" : "<collection>"     // The collection where the change operation occurred
   },
   "to" : {   // These fields are displayed only when the operation type is 'rename'
      "db" : "<database>",         // The new database name after the change
      "coll" : "<collection>"     // The new collection name after the change
   },
   "source":{
        "ts_ms":"<timestamp>",     // The timestamp when the change operation occurred
        "table":"<collection>"     // The collection where the change operation occurred
        "db":"<database>",         // The database where the change operation occurred
        "snapshot":"false"         // Identify the current stage of data synchronization
    },
   "documentKey" : { "_id" : <value> },  // The _id field value of the document involved in the change operation
   "updateDescription" : {    // Description of the update operation
      "updatedFields" : { <document> },  // The fields and values that the update operation modified
      "removedFields" : [ "<field>", ... ]     // The fields and values that the update operation removed
   }
   "clusterTime" : <Timestamp>,     // The timestamp of the Oplog log entry corresponding to the change operation
   "txnNumber" : <NumberLong>,    // If the change operation is executed in a multi-document transaction, this field and value are displayed, representing the transaction number
   "lsid" : {          // Represents information related to the Session in which the transaction is located
      "id" : <UUID>,  
      "uid" : <BinData> 
   }
