MongoFlink

MongoFlink is a connector between MongoDB and Apache Flink. It acts as a Flink sink (and an experimental Flink source), and provides transaction mode(which ensures exactly-once semantics) for MongoDB 4.2 above, and non-transaction mode for MongoDB 3.0 above.

MongoFlink is in its early phase, and any use, feedback or contribution is welcome!

Start to use

Prerequisite

• Flink 1.12 above. MongoFlink is built on top of the new sink API added in FLIP-143 or Flink 1.12.0.
• MongoDB 3.0 above. The official MongoDB Java driver supports 3.0 above.
• JDK 1.8 above.

Dependency

For Maven users, add the following dependency in your project's pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.mongoflink</groupId>
    <artifactId>mongo-flink</artifactId>
    <version>0.1</version>
</dependency>

MongoFlink heavily relies on Flink connector interfaces, but Flink interfaces may not have good cross version compatibility, thus it's recommended to choose the version of MongoFlink that matches the version of Flink in your project.

version	flink version	mongo version
0.1	1.13.x	4.2.x
0.2	1.14.x	4.4.x

In case there's no version that fits your need, it's recommended to build your own one. See [Build from source] section below.

Code

Use MongoSink in your Flink application.

    StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

    // non-transactional sink with a flush strategy of 1000 documents or 10 seconds
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.setProperty(MongoOptions.SINK_TRANSACTION_ENABLED, "false");
    properties.setProperty(MongoOptions.SINK_FLUSH_ON_CHECKPOINT, "false");
    properties.setProperty(MongoOptions.SINK_FLUSH_SIZE, String.valueOf(1_000L));
    properties.setProperty(MongoOptions.SINK_FLUSH_INTERVAL, String.valueOf(10_000L));

    env.addSource(...)
       .sinkTo(new MongoSink<>("mongodb://user:[email protected]:27017", "mydb", "mycollection",
                               new StringDocumentSerializer(), properties));

    env.execute();

Configuration

MongoFlink can be configured using properties.
