ES and MongoDB integration

Hi All

We are pretty much sure that we are going to move our whole CMS
backend from Oracle+Memcache to ES+MongoDB. We have already started
implementing ES in this regard. The current plan is that the
application is going to send independent updates to ES and MongoDB.
Ideally, I would like this integration to be on the same lines as the
Terrastore-ES integration, like there are event listeners on
Terrastore which send the updates along to ES over memory queues.

I was wondering whether anybody has looked into ES-MongDB integration.
If they have, whats the state of code like? Is it available as open-
source? If not, can we develop something?

Cheers!

We have done a similar thing, but chose Hazelcast -> ES instead of ES ->
MongoDB. It was hard to justify storing the exact same data in ES and in
MongoDB when ES has better querying capabilities and more stable
partitioning/sharding IMHO.

I hope you follow up with your experiences.

Our intended use of MongoDB is more as a data store (obviously sans
ACID), running on Solaris and ZFS which would replace Oracle rather
than using it as a smart cache. Yes, ES definitely has better querying
abilities and as a matter of fact we plan to use ES not only for
searching but even as a front cache for most of our reads.

Shall follow up with experiences.

Based on information I could gather (not investigated it too much
though...), it seems like mongodb don't have something like post
commit/op/action hooks so you can easily mirror changes to elasticsearch.
There was some talk (I think on the mailing list) that the commit log can be
used to try and hack it, but not sure how easy it is or how officially it is
supported in mongodb.

Flavio Percoco aka Flaper87 is working with the mongodb team on writing a mongodb extension to Use elasticaearch for fulltext.

Look on github for contact him.

Hi, Alberto.

Are you aware of some updates about this?
I have review the proyects of Flaper87 in Github but I'm unable to find something.

Thanks !

Flaper87 was working on it. I can put the plugins in a new my branch of es on github. I'll try to do it this week.
Writing an es river is very easy.

I initial imported the river on my branch on github GitHub - aparo/elasticsearch: Open Source, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine - Paro Edition - I add opinionated stuff that will never be in ElasticSearch. Tracking stable master
The river was used by Flavio for doing massive import of data.
I need to create some unit tests and docs before doing a pull request to kimchy.

The river is very similar to couchdb one.

You can download it and build with the classical (./gradlew release) or for debugging in Idea (updated the intellij project).

I updated the java mongodb driver to 2.5.3 and the river to using the new address API in mongodb driver.

Alberto,

After a quick look at your code I found this line 224:

https://github.com/aparo/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/mongodb/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/river/mongodb/MongoDBRiver.java#L224

And I wonder if there's a typo with --> field("lats_id")

On the other side, is there any description on what this river does?

Thanks.

Hi. I'm also interested in mongo-es integration. I was wondering today I to do that and a trigger system at the mongo level seems the most natural way. There's an open issue, not scheduled yet, here: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-124

I had a look at the code and it seems to me a batch process that wakes up, check for the last mongo id that's been indexed on ES and then index all the new stored object that he can found on the mongo database, based on the last id just retrieved.

Anyone used the plugin? I do not have many experience on ES so I think that to try I should

  1. build it (ok...)
  2. copy the built jar and the mongo java jar under $ES/plugins/river-mongodb
  3. configure something accordingly, probably the elasticsearch.yml with a "mongo" section and all the needed parameter.
  4. nothing more? probably not... I'll try tomorrow :slight_smile:

I'd like to explore the possibility to make this multi-index and multi-collection of course.

Back to a more deep mongo integration, I think that the only good way is some trigger in mongo like the one discussed in that jira issue, what do you think?

bump

I've made a simple test

            Node node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().node();
	Client client = node.client();
	InputStream mongo =

getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("mongodb-river.json");
byte input = IOUtils.toByteArray(mongo);
node.client().prepareIndex("_river", "db",
"_meta").setSource(input).execute().actionGet();

and the river starts but I got a:

Exception in thread "elasticsearch[Jessica Jones]mongodb_river_slurper-
pool-20-thread-1" java.lang.IllegalStateException: can't call
authenticate twice on the same DBObject
at com.mongodb.DB.authenticate(DB.java:430)
at org.elasticsearch.river.mongodb.MongoDBRiver
$Tailer.run(MongoDBRiver.java:269)

That is reasonable.

Noe that I've a test in place (*) I can work on the river to make it
work, and also make some refactoring.
I'm on the aparo fork now. I could create mine but I'm not that
familiar with git, what's your opinion?

Also, I'm not familiar with gradle. I created in less then a minute a
basic pom that allows me to work nicely with the mongodb river and
using es 0.17 snapshot as dep and to get all along nicely in Eclipse.
That's all I need to make it work and I'll not have the time to make
it work also with gradle (changing dependencies, dealing with the
horrible Eclipse integration and generally dealing with gradle... ).
