MongoDB

[laszewsk]

We have many projects using MongoDB, so we like to add a python MongoDB section to the book

[laszewsk]

TAs will add the cloudmesh

cms admin mongo

command that allows users to easily start a DB and manage it from commandline

[laszewsk]

Pulashti, fugang. I suggest you start looking at the cms code immediately, I do not have time, but it may no longer work and definitely needs documentation and testing.

Pulashti, add documentation on MongoDB, introduction if not already in handbook, and also a discussion on pymongo

[laszewsk]

code is at https://github.com/cloudmesh-community/cm

[laszewsk]

The admin command is at
https://github.com/cloudmesh-community/cm/blob/master/cloudmesh/admin/command/admin.py

Student developed api is at
https://github.com/cloudmesh-community/cm/tree/master/cm4/mongo

[laszewsk]

the configuration needs to be in ~/.cloudmesh/cloudmesh.yaml

Students implemented this wrong and also used a

https://github.com/cloudmesh-community/cm/blob/master/cm4/etc/mongo_copy.conf

Which must be eliminated, by potentially merging that content into

cloudmesh:
database:
type: mongodb
.... put the regular stuf such as port and so on here
credentials:
.... put all the needed parameters here

For now cloudmesh4.yaml example contains

https://github.com/cloudmesh-community/cm/blob/master/cm4/etc/cloudmesh4.yaml

a mongo object. but I suggest we change this to the above

I would like to work on this chapter if it is still available for contribution?
I would like to be clear on expectations and can schedule time to review prior to make sure that expectations are met.

In addition to pymongo

see also command

cms admin mongo

loots of good stuff

see the DatabaseUpdate and DatabaseAdd decorator for dicts
see the FlatDict

[laszewsk]

there is also a long chapter about mongodb

[laszewsk]

i think this mostly works we need to work with ms students and verify names.txt
