Mongo - Google Big Query Connector

Super-easy way to load your MongoDB collection into Google BigQuery. The code creates Google BigQuery schema automatically by performing a deep inspection of each MongoDB record and deriving the data type of each field. Supports basic data types, nested objects, array of primitive data types and array of objects.

Nested fields are flattened out into columns.

Arrays are typically split into a different (child) BigQuery table with parent/child relationship with the root table.

How it works

  1. Connects to your MongoDB and extract the specified collection into local file which is then copied to Google Cloud Storage.
  2. MapReduce generates schema (a copy is saved back to MongoDB for info).
  3. MapReduce transforms data, breaking the array into multiple files in Google Cloud Storage output folder.
  4. Create BigQuery tables using schema generated in step 2.
  5. Load BigQuery tables using Google Cloud Storage files generated in step 3.

Pre-requisites

  1. You have a Hadoop cluster.
  2. You can SSH to the master node.
  3. Make sure hadoop program is in your PATH.
  4. In each node, the following is installed:
  • python (2.6+)
  • pip
  • pymongo

If not, you can run the following on each node:

yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install python-pip
pip install pymongo

Install

  1. git clone this repo on the master node in your Hadoop cluster.
  2. Run this to compile custom code needed for MapReduce:
cd java/MapReduce
mvn package
  1. Make sure you have gcloud command line utilities installed in your Hadoop master mode. Executables that this program depends on are:
gsutil
bq

In onefold.py, near the top, there are a few configuration that you can customized. Make sure these variables are set correctly before proceeding.

TMP_PATH

Where the script will store extracted data from MongoDB.

CLOUD_STORAGE_PATH

Google Cloud Storage Path where it will store files for MapReduce and BigQuery.

Usage

Simple case

Say you have a MongoDB collection called "test.users", and you have some records in it:

> db.users.find();
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5688d0855d53fc2c133f3429"), "mobile" : { "carrier" : "Sprint", "device" : "Samsung" }, "name" : "John Doe", "age" : 24, "utm_campaign" : "Facebook_Offer", "app_version" : "2.4", "address" : { "city" : "Chicago", "zipcode" : 94012 } }

To load this into BigQuery,

./onefold.py --mongo mongodb://[mongodb_host]:[mongodb_port] \
             --source_db test \
             --source_collection users \
             --infra_type gcloud \
             --dest_db_name test \
             --dest_table_name users \
             --gcloud_project_id [google_cloud_project_id] \
             --gcloud_storage_bucket_id [google_cloud_storage_bucket_id]

In Mongo, you can see the schema saved in a collection called users_schema:

> db.users_schema.find();
{ "_id" : ObjectId("55426ae6296e827fc79300b1"), "type" : "field", "data_type" : "string-nullable", "key" : "address_city" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("55426ae6296e827fc79300b2"), "type" : "field", "data_type" : "record-nullable", "key" : "address" }

{ "_id" : ObjectId("55426ae72e2ecef82b7417d1"), "type" : "fragments", "fragments" : [ "root" ] }

Notes:

  1. By default, extracted data is saved in /tmp/onefold_mongo. It can be changed by specifying the tmp_path parameter.
  2. If --use_mr parameter is specified, it will use MapReduce to generate schema and transform data. Otherwise, it runs the mapper and reducer via command line using cat [input] | mapper | sort | reducer metaphor. This is handy if you don't have many records and/or just want to get this going quickly.
  3. The generated files are in JSON format.
  4. Nested objects like mobile and address in the above example are flattened out in the BigQuery table.
  5. hash_code column is added. It's basically an SHA1 hash of the object. It's useful later on when we use hash_code as parent-child key to represent array in a child table.

Now let's try a more complex collection.

In Mongo, create a complex_users collection with the following fields:

> db.complex_users.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5688d73c5d53fc2c133f342b"), "hobbies" : [ "reading", "cycling" ], "age" : 34, "work_history" : [ { "to" : "present", "from" : 2013, "name" : "IBM" }, { "to" : 2013, "from" : 2003, "name" : "Bell" } ], "utm_campaign" : "Google", "name" : "Alexander Keith", "app_version" : "2.5", "mobile" : { "device" : "iPhone", "carrier" : "Rogers" }, "address" : { "state" : "Ontario", "zipcode" : "M1K3A5", "street" : "26 Marshall Lane", "city" : "Toronto" } }

A new hobbies field is added that is a string array. A new work_history field is added that is an array of nested objects.

Run the following command to load complex_users collection into BigQuery:

./onefold.py --mongo mongodb://[mongodb_host]:[mongodb_port] \
             --source_db test \
             --source_collection complex_users \
             --infra_type gcloud \
             --dest_db_name test \
             --dest_table_name complex_users \
             --gcloud_project_id [google_cloud_project_id] \
             --gcloud_storage_bucket_id [google_cloud_storage_bucket_id]

You can join parent and child table like:

$ bq query "select * from test.complex_users join test.complex_users_hobbies on test.complex_users.hash_code = test.complex_users_hobbies.parent_hash_code"

Parameters

--mongo MongoDB connectivity URI, e.g. mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017

--source_db The MongoDB database name from which to extract data.

--source_collection The MongoDB collection name from which to extract data.

--query Optional query users can specify when doing extraction. Useful for filtering out only incremental records. See below for some examples.

--tmp_path Optional. Path used to store extracted data. Default is /tmp/onefold_mongo

--schema_db Optional. The MongoDB database name to which schema data is written. Default to the same database as source.

--schema_collection Optional. The MongoDB collection to which schema data is written. Default to [source_collection]_schema.

--dest_db_name Optional. The BigQuery dataset to use.

--dest_table_name Optional. The BigQuery table name to use. If not specified, it will use source collection name.

--use_mr If this parameter is specified, the program will use MapReduce to generate schema and transform data. If not, the mapper and reducer will be executed as command line using the cat [input] | mapper | sort | reducer metaphore. This is useful for small data set and if you just want to get things up and running quickly.

--policy_file Use the specified file for policies which you can use to configure required fields, etc. See below for supported policies

--infra_type Specify gcloud for Google BigQuery

--gcloud_project_id Specify the Google Cloud project id

--gcloud_storage_bucket_id Specify the bucket ID of the Google Cloud Storage bucket to use for file storage

Policy Manager

Policy manager is used to control schema generation. With the policy manager, you can:

  1. Specify required fields. If the field is missing, the document is rejected. Rejected documents are saved in [TMP_PATH]/[collection_name]/rejected folder.
  2. Enforce data type for certain fields. In the example below, age is forced to be integer. So if there is a document that contains non-integer, the field will be null.

Example policy file:

[
    {
        "key": "last_name",
        "required": true
    },
    {
        "key": "address.zipcode",
        "data_type": "integer"
    }
]

Save the policy file, and pass the policy file in as command line argument via --policy_file.

Query Examples

To query for charge_id > 1237489:

--query '{"charge_id":{"$gt":1237489}}'

To query for _id > 55401a60151a4b1a4f000001:

--query '{"_id": {"$gt":ObjectId("55401a60151a4b1a4f000001")}}'

Known Issues

  • There is no easy way to capture records that were updated in MongoDB. We are working on capturing oplog and replay inserts and updates.
  • The ways in which the data type of a given changes over time is huge. A field can change from an int, to a string, to an array of string, to an array of mix types, to an array of complex objects over time. We haven't tested all the different combinations, but very interested in support as many as we can. Let us know if you have found a case that we don't support well.
  • Currently since BigQuery doesn't support alter-table, we can only support overwrite mode.
