We use this tool to upload a bunch of json documents into Couchbase Server.
After you clone the project from git@github.com:couchbase/couchbase-examples.git, run the following command:
config/autorun.sh
To build the package, run
make bdist
cbdocloader OPTIONS DOCUMENTS
DOCUMENTS:
The documents parameter can be either a directory name which contains all the json documents or a .zip file which archives the document directory.
Generally speaking, the document directory should have the following layout:
/design_docs which contains all the design docs for views.
/docs which contains all the raw json data files. It can have other sub directories too.
All json files should be well formatted. And no spaces allowed in file names. Design docs will be uploaded after all other data files.
OPTIONS:
-n HOST[:PORT], --node=HOST[:PORT] Default port is 8091
-u USERNAME, --user=USERNAME REST username of the cluster. It can be specified in environment variable REST_USERNAME.
-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD REST password of the cluster. It can be specified in environment variable REST_PASSWORD.
-b BUCKETNAME, --bucket=BUCKETNAME Specific bucket name. Default is default bucket. Bucket will be created if it doesn't exist.
-s QUOTA, RAM quota for the bucket. Unit is MB. Default is 100MB.
-h --help Show this help message and exit
# Upload documents archived in zip file ../samples/gamesim.zip. All data will be inserted in bucket mybucket
#
./cbdocloader -n localhost:8091 -u Administrator -p password -b mybucket ../samples/gamesim.zip
These are kinds of error cases to consider ...
- JSON files are not well formatted
- Wrong REST username and password
- Bucket cannot be created due to too large ram quota specified.
