Import JSON file into Couchbase using cbdocloader

Question

I use cbdocloader command to import different json file into couchbase database. If my file content json like below

{"displayName":"Login","controller":"AppCtrl","action":"login","endpoint":"","group":0,"_type":"Permission"}

it is working fine.

But if my json content _id it will automatically exclude it from import I want to import my json like below

{"_id":"3dfd4bb0-aff4-11e6-8a96-8598a3ef40c4","displayName":"Login","controller":"AppCtrl","action":"login","endpoint":"","group":0,"_type":"Permission"}

How can I do this using cbdocloader ??

Answer 1

Couchbase Server 4.5 treats _id in a different way: https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-cli/blob/4.5.0/pump_json.py#L41-L62

Next version will use new docloader, which does not do it anymore. You can build it standalone: https://github.com/couchbase/docloader

export GOPATH=/tmp/gopath
mkdir -p $GOPATH
cd $GOPATH
go get github.com/couchbase/docloader/cmd/cbdocloader

It produces single static binary at

./bin/cbdocloader

Man page also located in the repository

man src/github.com/couchbase/docloader/man/man1/cbdocloader.1

You can see demo of this new docloader recorded on Connect 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlK9R5Fqmpo
