    MongoDB Bulk Insert – Tutorial

    We will look into MongoDB bulk insert today. Multiple documents can be inserted at a time in MongoDB using bulk insert operation where an array of documents is passed to the insert method as parameter.

    MongoDB bulk insert

    MongoDB bulk insert performs ordered insert by default. If an error occurs during the insertion at a certain point, the insertion does not happen for the remaining documents. Lets see an example of how to insert multiple documents using mongodb bulk insert through command line.

    MongoDB insert many documents

    Copy Code 
    

    > db.car.insert(
... [
... { _id:1,name:"Audi",color:"Red",cno:"H101",mfdcountry:"Germany",speed:75 },
... { _id:2,name:"Swift",color:"Black",cno:"H102",mfdcountry:"Italy",speed:60 },
... { _id:3,name:"Maruthi800",color:"Blue",cno:"H103",mfdcountry:"India",speed:70 },
... { _id:4,name:"Polo",color:"White",cno:"H104",mfdcountry:"Japan",speed:65 },
... { _id:5,name:"Volkswagen",color:"JetBlue",cno:"H105",mfdcountry:"Rome",speed:80 }       
...  ]
...  )
BulkWriteResult({
    "writeErrors" : [ ],
    "writeConcernErrors" : [ ],
    "nInserted" : 5,
    "nUpserted" : 0,
    "nMatched" : 0,
    "nModified" : 0,
    "nRemoved" : 0,
    "upserted" : [ ]
})

    This operation inserted five documents. MongoDB creates an id field automatically if not specified by the user in the query. The “nInserted” column tells the user number of documents that are inserted. To view the inserted documents perform the following query as shown below.

    Copy Code 
    

    > db.car.find()
{ "_id" : 1, "name" : "Audi", "color" : "Red", "cno" : "H101", "mfdcountry" : "Germany", "speed" : 75 }
{ "_id" : 2, "name" : "Swift", "color" : "Black", "cno" : "H102", "mfdcountry" : "Italy", "speed" : 60 }
{ "_id" : 3, "name" : "Maruthi800", "color" : "Blue", "cno" : "H103", "mfdcountry" : "India", "speed" : 70 }
{ "_id" : 4, "name" : "Polo", "color" : "White", "cno" : "H104", "mfdcountry" : "Japan", "speed" : 65 }
{ "_id" : 5, "name" : "Volkswagen", "color" : "JetBlue", "cno" : "H105", "mfdcountry" : "Rome", "speed" : 80 }

    While inserting it is not mandatory for user to provide all the fields in the query. Now lets see how the insert works when some of the fields are not specified.

    MongoDB Bulk Insert documents specifying some of the fields

    Copy Code 
    

    > db.car.insert(
... [
... { _id:6,name:"HondaCity",color:"Grey",cno:"H106",mfdcountry:"Sweden",speed:45 },
... {name:"Santro",color:"Pale Blue",cno:"H107",mfdcountry:"Denmark",speed:55 },
... { _id:8,name:"Zen",speed:54 }
... ]
... )
BulkWriteResult({
    "writeErrors" : [ ],
    "writeConcernErrors" : [ ],
    "nInserted" : 3,
    "nUpserted" : 0,
    "nMatched" : 0,
    "nModified" : 0,
    "nRemoved" : 0,
    "upserted" : [ ]
})

    In this example, for the second document, the id field is not specified by the user and for the third document only id, name and speed fields are supplied in the query. The query does a successful insertion even though some fields are missing in the second and third documents. The nInserted column says that three documents were inserted. Invoke find method and check the inserted documents.

    Copy Code 
    

    > db.car.find()
{ "_id" : 1, "name" : "Audi", "color" : "Red", "cno" : "H101", "mfdcountry" : "Germany", "speed" : 75 }
{ "_id" : 2, "name" : "Swift", "color" : "Black", "cno" : "H102", "mfdcountry" : "Italy", "speed" : 60 }
{ "_id" : 3, "name" : "Maruthi800", "color" : "Blue", "cno" : "H103", "mfdcountry" : "India", "speed" : 70 }
{ "_id" : 4, "name" : "Polo", "color" : "White", "cno" : "H104", "mfdcountry" : "Japan", "speed" : 65 }
{ "_id" : 5, "name" : "Volkswagen", "color" : "JetBlue", "cno" : "H105", "mfdcountry" : "Rome", "speed" : 80 }
{ "_id" : 6, "name" : "HondaCity", "color" : "Grey", "cno" : "H106", "mfdcountry" : "Sweden", "speed" : 45 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("54885b8e61307aec89441a0b"), "name" : "Santro", "color" : "Pale Blue", "cno" : "H107", "mfdcountry" : "Denmark", "speed" : 55 }
{ "_id" : 8, "name" : "Zen", "speed" : 54 }

    Note that the id is automatically generated by MongoDB for the car “Santro”. For id 8 – only name and speed fields are inserted.

    Inserting an unordered documents

    While performing unordered insertion, if an error occurs at a certain point the mongodb continues to insert the remaining documents in an array. For example;

    Copy Code 
    

    > db.car.insert(
... [
... { _id:9,name:"SwiftDezire",color:"Maroon",cno:"H108",mfdcountry:"New York",speed:40 },
... { name:"Punto",color:"Wine Red",cno:"H109",mfdcountry:"Paris",speed:45 },
...  ],
... { ordered: false }
... )
BulkWriteResult({
    "writeErrors" : [ ],
    "writeConcernErrors" : [ ],
    "nInserted" : 2,
    "nUpserted" : 0,
    "nMatched" : 0,
    "nModified" : 0,
    "nRemoved" : 0,
    "upserted" : [ ]
})

    The ordered false is specified in the insert query indicating that it is an unordered collection. Execute db.car.find()

    Copy Code 
    

    { "_id" : 1, "name" : "Audi", "color" : "Red", "cno" : "H101", "mfdcountry" : "Germany", "speed" : 75 }
{ "_id" : 2, "name" : "Swift", "color" : "Black", "cno" : "H102", "mfdcountry" : "Italy", "speed" : 60 }
{ "_id" : 3, "name" : "Maruthi800", "color" : "Blue", "cno" : "H103", "mfdcountry" : "India", "speed" : 70 }
{ "_id" : 4, "name" : "Polo", "color" : "White", "cno" : "H104", "mfdcountry" : "Japan", "speed" : 65 }
{ "_id" : 5, "name" : "Volkswagen", "color" : "JetBlue", "cno" : "H105", "mfdcountry" : "Rome", "speed" : 80 }
{ "_id" : 6, "name" : "HondaCity", "color" : "Grey", "cno" : "H106", "mfdcountry" : "Sweden", "speed" : 45 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("54746407d785e3a05a1808a6"), "name" : "Santro", "color" : "Pale Blue", "cno" : "H107", "mfdcountry" : "Denmark", "speed" : 55 }
{ "_id" : 8, "name" : "Zen", "speed" : 54 }
{ "_id" : 9, "name" : "SwiftDezire", "color" : "Maroon", "cno" : "H108", "mfdcountry" : "New York", "speed" : 40 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5474642dd785e3a05a1808a7"), "name" : "Punto", "color" : "Wine Red", "cno" : "H109", "mfdcountry" : "Paris", "speed" : 45 }

    The documents are inserted and as you can see, it is an unordered insert. If the insert method encounters an error, the result includes the “WriteResult.writeErrors” field indicating the error message that caused failure.

    Inserting duplicate id value

    Copy Code 
    

    > db.car.insert({_id:6,name:"Innova"})
WriteResult({
    "nInserted" : 0,
    "writeError" : {
        "code" : 11000,
        "errmsg" : "insertDocument :: caused by :: 11000 E11000 duplicate key error index: journaldev.car.$_id_  dup key: { : 6.0 }"
    }
})

    The error indicates that we are inserting a document for id 6 which already contains a document and hence throws duplicate key error for id of value 6.

    MongoDB Bulk.insert() method

    This method performs an insert operation in bulk numbers. It is introduced from version 2.6 onwards. The syntax is Bulk.insert(<document>). document: specifies the document to be inserted. Now we shall see the example for bulk insertion.

    Bulk Unordered insert

    Copy Code 
    

    > var carbulk = db.car.initializeUnorderedBulkOp();
> carbulk.insert({ name:"Ritz", color:"Grey",cno:"H109",mfdcountry:"Mexico",speed:62});
> carbulk.insert({ name:"Versa", color:"Magenta",cno:"H110",mfdcountry:"France",speed:68});
> carbulk.insert({ name:"Innova", color:"JetRed",cno:"H111",mfdcountry:"Dubai",speed:72});
> carbulk.execute();
BulkWriteResult({
    "writeErrors" : [ ],
    "writeConcernErrors" : [ ],
    "nInserted" : 3,
    "nUpserted" : 0,
    "nMatched" : 0,
    "nModified" : 0,
    "nRemoved" : 0,
    "upserted" : [ ]
})

    An unordered list named carbulk is created and insert query is specified with the fields, values to be inserted. Note that it is necessary to call the execute() method following the last insert statement to ensure that the data is actually inserted into the database.

    MongoDB Bulk Ordered Insert

    This is similar to unordered bulk insert but we use initializeOrderedBulkOp call.

    Copy Code 
    

    >var car1bulk = db.car.initializeOrderedBulkOp();
>car1bulk.insert({ name:"Ertiga", color:"Red",cno:"H112",mfdcountry:"America",speed:65});
>car1bulk.insert({ name:"Quanta", color:"Maroon",cno:"H113",mfdcountry:"Rome",speed:78});
>car1bulk.execute();
BulkWriteResult({
    "writeErrors" : [ ],
    "writeConcernErrors" : [ ],
    "nInserted" : 2,
    "nUpserted" : 0,
    "nMatched" : 0,
    "nModified" : 0,
    "nRemoved" : 0,
    "upserted" : [ ]
})

    First we create an ordered list of car collection named carbulk1 and then insert the documents by invoking the execute() method.

    MongoDB Bulk Insert Java Program

    Let’s see a java program for different bulk operations, that we have seen using shell commands till now. Below is the java program for bulk insert using MongoDB java driver version 2.x.
