Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-7457:
----------------------------------------
[~frougeot] - I double-checked my steps, here's what I did to ensure this work
* ensures that no other 'sling' database exists in mongodb
* downloaded a sling starter 10-SNAPSHOT from repository.apache.org
* started the app with the proper runmodes
* validated that there are now entries in the sling.nodes collection
*MongoDB*
{noformat}
$ mongo
MongoDB shell version v3.4.10
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
MongoDB server version: 3.4.10
> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
local 0.000GB
> exit
{noformat}
*Sling Starter*
{noformat}
$ wget
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/sling/org.apache.sling.starter/10-SNAPSHOT/org.apache.sling.starter-10-20180131.135931-131.jar
$ java -jar org.apache.sling.starter-10-20180131.135931-131.jar
-Dsling.run.modes=oak_mongo
{noformat}
*Verifying*
After a little time, MongoDB connection information should be printed on stdout
{noformat}INFO: Monitor thread successfully connected to server with
description ServerDescription{address=localhost:27017, type=STANDALONE,
state=CONNECTED, ok=true, version=ServerVersion{versionList=[3, 4, 10]},
minWireVersion=0, maxWireVersion=5, maxDocumentSize=16777216,
roundTripTimeNanos=460489}{noformat}
Also, data should be in the {{nodes}} collection of the {{sling}} mongo database
{noformat}$ mongo
> use sling
> db.nodes.count();
13454{noformat}
Can you follow these steps and let me know where it stops working for you?
> Poor documentation on mongoDB or other NOSQL use

> Key: SLING-7457
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7457
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: frederic rougeot
> Priority: Major
>
> I am evaluating sling.
> I succeed in setting it up and it works as I thought, seems to be a very
> valuable product for those who want to rapidlly build a software that relies
> on JCR, which is my case.
> But the next question is "Should I use a noSQL Database or not". As it may be
> an important choice, since Sling is not really compatible with SQL database,
> I wanted to make sling run with MongoDB.
> I read the documentation, and at first impression, it seemed quite immediate;
> I simply have to add an option to change the mode of launching the starter
> application, as it is said in the following documentation:
> [https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/the-sling-launchpad.html]
>
> So I tried to launch the starter application with the following lines:
> java -Dsling.run.modes=oak,oak_mongo -jar
> org.apache.sling.starter-10-SNAPSHOT.jar
> and checked with a mongodb client if a mongodb server was started or not ...
> As I was unable to connect to mongodb://localhost:27017 I guess something is
> missing, maybe mongodb should be installed separetely ?
>
> I continue reading the documentation, and find
> [https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/nosql-resource-providers.html]
> OK, my conclusion was I missed to install the nosql-resource-providers, so I
> installed the bundle and check again ...
> Nothing new, it seems I have done nothing.
> So, always according to
> [https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/nosql-resource-providers.html,]
> there is another launchpad to use.
> There is the link to the source code:
> https://github.com/apache/sling-old-svn-mirror/tree/trunk/contrib/nosql/launchpad
> But it is said that this source repository is obsolete and shall not be used.
> So I get back to apache git repository, and filtered on "sling" and "nosql",
> I can find some code now ...
> https://github.com/apache?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=sling+nosql&type=&language=
> But it is absolutely not clear to me whether I have to do something with that
> modules or not ...
> So my real problem is I can't get the right documentation on "How to setup
> Sling 9 to work with mongodb" and there is, as far as I know, no forum where
> I can ask this to a community to help.
> I guess sling is working well with mongoDB, but if I need 10 days to set it
> up (I spend 1 day, maybe it is not enough) my point of view is made: I won't
> use mongodb.
> But this maybe a terrible mistake !
>
> So help please !
