This plugin uses MongoDB or the TokuMX fork of MongoDB as datasource to store data in ElasticSearch. Filtering and transformation are also possible. See the wiki for more details.

In order to install the plugin, simply run: bin/plugin --install com.github.richardwilly98.elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-mongodb/2.0.1

Initial implementation by aparo. For the initial implementation see tutorial.

Modified to get the same structure as the other Elasticsearch rivers (like CouchDB)

The latest version monitors the oplog capped collection and supports attachment (GridFS).

Configure the river using the definition described in the wiki:

  curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb/_meta' -d '{
    "type": "mongodb", 
    "mongodb": { 
      "db": "DATABASE_NAME", 
      "collection": "COLLECTION", 
      "gridfs": true
    }, 
    "index": { 
      "name": "ES_INDEX_NAME", 
      "type": "ES_TYPE_NAME" 
    }
  }'

Example:

  curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb/_meta' -d '{ 
    "type": "mongodb", 
    "mongodb": { 
      "db": "testmongo", 
      "collection": "person"
    }, 
    "index": {
      "name": "mongoindex", 
      "type": "person" 
    }
  }'

Import data from mongo console:

  use testmongo
  var p = {firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe"}
  db.person.save(p)

Query index:

  curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/mongoindex/_search?q=firstName:John'

  curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb/_meta' -d '{ 
    "type": "mongodb", 
    "mongodb": { 
      "db": "testmongo", 
      "collection": "fs", 
      "gridfs": true 
    }, 
    "index": {
      "name": "mongoindex", 
      "type": "files" 
    }
  }'

Import binary content in mongo:

  %MONGO_HOME%\bin>mongofiles.exe --host localhost:27017 --db testmongo --collection fs put test-document-2.pdf
  connected to: localhost:27017
  added file: { _id: ObjectId('4f230588a7da6e94984d88a1'), filename: "test-document-2.pdf", chunkSize: 262144, uploadDate: new Date(1327695240206), md5: "c2f251205576566826f86cd969158f24", length: 173293 }
  done!

Query index:

  curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/files/4f230588a7da6e94984d88a1?pretty=true'
