I am starting a MULTI-TENANT project in spring data mongodb.
After reading this post, collection per tenant is a pretty decent approach in mongodb.
So how can I achieve this in Spring Data Mongo? Apparently, There's no out-of-box solution provided, but I thought I could tweak MongoTemplate by overriding determineCollectionName method but I assume its not a public nor protected method for purpose.
However, I set up database per tenant approach very easily by extending SimpleMongoDbFactory and using LocalThread variable by following the tips provided here.
So, the questions are:
- Is there any safe way I can override the collection and domain class name mappings? p.s: This should happen at runtime, so I think @collection annotation won't help at all.
- If the collection per tenant is impossible, how much performance and resource penalties will I get for taking multi db approach?
You could extend MappingMongoEntityInformation to override getCollectionName(). The repository operations call getCollectionName() on each operation. I'm assuming the tenantId would be a ThreadLocal
public class TenantThreadLocal extends ThreadLocal<String> {
private final static TenantThreadLocal instance = new TenantThreadLocal();
public static TenantThreadLocal instance() {
return instance;
}
}
And the overridden class with the constructors omitted.
public class TenantMappingMongoEntityInformation<T, ID extends java.io.Serializable> extends MappingMongoEntityInformation<T, ID> {
@Override
public String getCollectionName() {
return TenantThreadLocal.instance().get() + super.getCollectionName();
}
}
Then create your repository:
MongoPersistentEntity<YourObject> persistentEntity =
(MongoPersistentEntity<YourObject>)
mongoOperations.getConverter()
.getMappingContext()
.getPersistentEntity(YourObject.class);
MongoEntityInformation<YourObject, ObjectId> mongoEntityInformation =
new MappingMongoEntityInformation<YourObject, ObjectId>(persistentEntity);
CrudRepository<YourObject, ObjectId> repository =
new SimpleMongoRepository<YourObject, ObjectId>(mongoEntityInformation, mongoOperations);
