I want to perform an aggregation in Mongo 3.2 as explained here, but in Java:
https://docs.mongodb.org/master/reference/operator/aggregation/lookup/#pipe._S_lookup
At the moment my query object in java is very simple:
Document query = new Document();
query.append("employeId", employeId);
In addition to filtering by employeId, I would like to join this collection with company (where employee.company_id = company.id)
How can I do that in Java? It seems like I cannot find documentation of this new Mongo feature.
EDIT
Example of Employee collection:
{
"id" : 1,
"name" : "John",
"lastName" : "Moore",
"age" : 44,
"companyId": 10
}
Example of Company collection:
{
"id" : 10,
"companyName" : "Microsoft",
"numEmployee" : 100
}
Example of output expected
{
"id" : 1,
"name" : "John",
"lastName" : "Moore",
"companyId" : 10,
"companyName" : "Microsoft"
}
Running the following aggregation pipeline should give you the needed result
pipeline = [
{
"$match": {
"_id": employeeId
}
},
{
"$lookup": {
"from": "company",
"localField": "companyId",
"foreignField": "_id",
"as": "company"
}
},
{
"$project": {
"name": 1,
"lastName": 1,
"companyId": 1,
"companyName": "$company.companyName"
}
}
];
db.employee.aggregate(pipeline);
Java test implementation
public class JavaAggregation {
public static void main(String args[]) throws UnknownHostException {
MongoClient mongo = new MongoClient();
DB db = mongo.getDB("test");
DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("employee");
// create the pipeline operations, first with the $match
DBObject match = new BasicDBObject("$match",
new BasicDBObject("_id", employeeId)
);
// build the $lookup operations
DBObject lookupFields = new BasicDBObject("from", "company");
lookupFields.put("localField", "companyId");
lookupFields.put("foreignField", "_id");
lookupFields.put("as", "company");
DBObject lookup = new BasicDBObject("$lookup", lookupFields);
// build the $project operations
DBObject projectFields = new BasicDBObject("name", 1);
projectFields.put("lastName", 1);
projectFields.put("companyId", 1);
projectFields.put("companyName", "$company.companyName");
DBObject project = new BasicDBObject("$project", projectFields);
List<DBObject> pipeline = Arrays.asList(match, lookup, project);
AggregationOutput output = coll.aggregate(pipeline);
for (DBObject result : output.results()) {
System.out.println(result);
}
}
}
