Hi there, We are given a text file containing several lines, where each one corresponds a mongo document, and we load it as follows:
DEFINE PigToMongo com.beeva.PigToMongo.PigToMongo(); A = LOAD '/home/hduser/pigfiles/input.txt' USING TextLoader() AS (line:chararray); B = FOREACH A GENERATE PigToMongo(line); DUMP B By using PigToMongo(line), we connect to mongo, map A, write and close the connection. PigToMongo creates a connection for each line as follows (which implies our MongoDB is down*): MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient( "localhost" , 27017 ); DB db = mongoClient.getDB( "hadoopDB" ); DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("output0"); I wonder whether it is possible to open and close the connection only once, outside the UDF. - By the way, does MongoDB support multiple connections at the same time? (from several reducers storing data during a map/reduce job, for example) Thank you, *CÉSAR PUMAR GARCÍA* *BEEVA FOR GRADUATES* *cesar.pu...@beeva.com <cesar.pu...@beeva.com>[image: www.beeva.com] <http://www.beeva.com>*
