问题
I found this answer - Answer link
db.full_set.aggregate([ { $match: { date: "20120105" } }, { $out: "subset" } ]);
I want do same thing but with first 15000 documents in collection, I couldn't find how to apply limit to such query (I tried using $limit : 15000, but it doesn't recognize $limit)
also when I tried -
db.subset.insert(db.full_set.find({}).limit(15000).toArray())
there is no function toArray() for output type cursor.
Guide me how can I accomplish it?
回答1:
Well,
in python, this is how things work - $limit needs to be wrapped in "",
and you need to create a pipeline to execute it as a command.
In my code -
pipeline = [{ '$limit': 15000 },{'$out': "destination_collection"}]
db.command('aggregate', "source_collection", pipeline=pipeline)
You need to wrap everything in double quotes, including your source and destination collection.
And in db.command db is the object of your database (ie dbclient.database_name)
As per this answer -
It works about 100 times faster than forEach at least in my case. This is because the entire aggregation pipeline runs in the mongod process, whereas a solution based on find() and insert() has to send all of the documents from the server to the client and then back. This has a performance penalty, even if the server and client are on the same machine.
The one that really helped me figure this answer out - Reference 1
And official documentation
