Streaming Write Configuration Options

On this page

  • Overview
  • Specifying Properties in connection.uri

You can configure the following properties when writing data to MongoDB in streaming mode.

Note

If you use SparkConf to set the connector's write configurations, prefix spark.mongodb.write. to each property.

Property name
Description
connection.uri
Required.
The connection string configuration key.

Default: mongodb://localhost:27017/
database
Required.
The database name configuration.
collection
Required.
The collection name configuration.
comment
The comment to append to the write operation. Comments appear in the output of the Database Profiler.

Default: None
mongoClientFactory
MongoClientFactory configuration key.
You can specify a custom implementation that must implement the com.mongodb.spark.sql.connector.connection.MongoClientFactory interface.

Default: com.mongodb.spark.sql.connector.connection.DefaultMongoClientFactory
checkpointLocation
The absolute file path of the directory to which the connector writes checkpoint information.


Default: None
forceDeleteTempCheckpointLocation
A Boolean value that specifies whether to delete existing checkpoint data.

Default: false

If you use SparkConf to specify any of the previous settings, you can either include them in the connection.uri setting or list them individually.

The following code example shows how to specify the database, collection, and convertJson setting as part of the connection.uri setting:

spark.mongodb.write.connection.uri=mongodb://127.0.0.1/myDB.myCollection?convertJson=any

To keep the connection.uri shorter and make the settings easier to read, you can specify them individually instead:

spark.mongodb.write.connection.uri=mongodb://127.0.0.1/
spark.mongodb.write.database=myDB
spark.mongodb.write.collection=myCollection
spark.mongodb.write.convertJson=any

Important

If you specify a setting in both the connection.uri and on its own line, the connection.uri setting takes precedence. For example, in the following configuration, the connection database is foobar:

spark.mongodb.write.connection.uri=mongodb://127.0.0.1/foobar
spark.mongodb.write.database=bar
