Import form JSON

If you are migrating from MongoDB or any other DBMS that exports data in JSON format, the JSON extractor is what you need. For more information look also at: Import-from-PARSE.

This is the input file stored in /tmp/database.json file:

[
 {
  "name": "Joe",
  "id": 1,
  "friends": [2,4,5],
  "enemies": [6]
 },
 {
  "name": "Suzie",
  "id": 2,
  "friends": [1,4,6],
  "enemies": [5,2]
 }
]

Note that friends and enemies represent relationships with nodes of the same type. They are in the form of an array of IDs. This is what we need:

Use the Vertex class "Account" to store nodes
Use the Edge classes "Friend" and "Enemy" to connect vertices
Merge and Lookups will be on id property of Account class that will be unique
In case the connected friend hasn't been inserted yet, create it ("unresolvedLinkAction": "CREATE")
To speed up lookups, a unique index will be created on Account.it

And this pipeline (log is at debug level to show all the messages):

{
  "config": {
    "log": "debug"
  },
  "source" : {
    "file": { "path": "/tmp/database.json" }
  },
  "extractor" : {
    "json": {}
  },
  "transformers" : [
    { "merge": { "joinFieldName": "id", "lookup": "Account.id" } },
    { "vertex": { "class": "Account"} },
    { "edge": {
      "class": "Friend",
      "joinFieldName": "friends",
      "lookup": "Account.id",
      "unresolvedLinkAction": "CREATE"
    } },
    { "edge": {
      "class": "Enemy",
      "joinFieldName": "enemies",
      "lookup": "Account.id",
      "unresolvedLinkAction": "CREATE"
    } }
  ],
  "loader" : {
    "orientdb": {
      "dbURL": "plocal:/tmp/databases/db",
      "dbUser": "admin",
      "dbPassword": "admin",
      "dbAutoDropIfExists": true,
      "dbAutoCreate": true,
      "standardElementConstraints": false,
      "tx": false,
      "wal": false,
      "batchCommit": 1000,
      "dbType": "graph",
      "classes": [{"name": "Account", "extends":"V"}, {"name": "Friend", "extends":"E"}, {"name": "Enemy", "extends":"E"}],
      "indexes": [{"class":"Account", "fields":["id:integer"], "type":"UNIQUE_HASH_INDEX" }]
    }
  }
}

Note also the setting

      "standardElementConstraints": false,

This is needed, in order to allow importing the property "id" in the OrientDB Loader. Without this option, the Blueprints standard would reject it, because "id" is a reserved name.

By executing the ETL process, this is the output:
