Answer 1

I find the answer by this links https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/TOOLS-620 It seem it is a mongodb tools bugs that doesn't resolved yet. Not sure if anyone know if the latest tools have fixed the issue?

BTW, I uninstall the mongodb-tools 3.x and reinstall to 2.6.0 that resolved the problem

sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org-tools
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org-tools=2.6.0

mongoimport --db test --collection restaurants --drop --file dataset.json
connected to: 127.0.0.1
2015-08-25T15:19:59.494+0800 dropping: test.restaurants

I used mongo atlas to import CSV file to the cluster, I faced the same issue I tried many different solutions mentioned here but no one worked, I get back to the documentation this one worked for me, go to the dashbord and click on the name of your cluster, in the extreme right there is tab called command-line tools Data Import and Export Tools you will find how to import to your cluster

mongoimport --uri mongodb+srv://admin:<PASSWORD>@<NAME>.mongodb.net/<DATABASE> --collection <COLLECTION> --type <FILETYPE> --file <FILENAME>

if you are uploading csv file add --headerline after type
