What results can you expect?
Some example scenarios are shown below:
Cosmos DB Client Creation
CosmoDB client creation
private static final String HOST = "[YOUR_ENDPOINT_HERE]";
private static final String MASTER_KEY = "[YOUR_KEY_HERE]";
private static DocumentClient documentClient = new DocumentClient(HOST, MASTER_KEY,
ConnectionPolicy.GetDefault(), ConsistencyLevel.Session);
public static DocumentClient getDocumentClient() {
return documentClient;
}
CosmoDb Async client creation
import com.microsoft.azure.cosmosdb.rx.AsyncDocumentClient;
public AsyncDocumentClient client = new AsyncDocumentClient.Builder()
.withServiceEndpoint(AccountSettings.HOST)
.withMasterKeyOrResourceToken(AccountSettings.MASTER_KEY)
.withConnectionPolicy(ConnectionPolicy.GetDefault())
.withConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.Eventual)
.build();
Insert Data Operation
v2
public static Family andersenFamily = new Family();
public void TestCreateDocument() throws DocumentClientException {
// Insert your Java objects as documents
System.out.println("Creating doc");
andersenFamily.setId("Andersen.1");
andersenFamily.setLastName("Andersen");
this.client.createDocument("/dbs/familydb/colls/familycoll", andersenFamily, new RequestOptions(), true);
System.out.println("Done Creating doc");
}
v4
@Override
public Single<OutcomingAccountStatus> createStatus(IncomingCreateAccountStatus incoming) {
Mono<YapeAccountStatus> createYapeAccountStatus =
defer(() -> {
YapeAccountStatus yapeAccountStatus = new YapeAccountStatus();
yapeAccountStatus.setId(generateId());
yapeAccountStatus.setIdYapeAccount(incoming.getIdYapeAccount());
yapeAccountStatus.setStatus(incoming.getStatus());
yapeAccountStatus.setCreationDate(incoming.getCreationDate());
return cosmosAsyncDatabase.getContainer(CONTAINER_YAPE_ACCOUNT_STATUS)
.createItem(yapeAccountStatus,
new PartitionKey(yapeAccountStatus.getIdYapeAccount()),
new CosmosItemRequestOptions())
.retryWhen(noLongerAvailable)
.map(itemResponse -> yapeAccountStatus);
}
Select Data Operation
v2
public void TestQueryDocuments() {
System.out.println("Querying db...");
FeedResponse<Document> queryResults = this.client.queryDocuments("/dbs/familydb/colls/familycoll",
"SELECT * FROM Family WHERE Family.id = 'Andersen.1'", null);
System.out.println("Running SQL query...");
for (Document family : queryResults.getQueryIterable()) {
System.out.println(String.format("\tRead %s", family));
}
}
public void TestReadDocument() throws DocumentClientException {
this.client.readDocument("/dbs/familydb/colls/familycoll/docs/Andersen.1", null);
}
public void TestReadDocuments() throws DocumentClientException {
this.client.readDocuments("/dbs/familydb", null);
}
v4
private Mono<YapeAccountStatus> getLastStatusMono(String idYapeAccount) {
SqlQuerySpec sqsGetLastStatusQuery = SqlBuilder.create()
.query("select top 1 s.status from s where s.idYapeAccount = @idYapeAccount "
+ "and s.status != @statusDeleted order by s.creationDate desc")
.parameters(
new SqlParameter("@idYapeAccount", idYapeAccount),
new SqlParameter("@statusDeleted", AccountStatus.DELETED.getCode()))
.buildSqlQuerySpec();
CosmosQueryRequestOptions options = new CosmosQueryRequestOptions();
options.setPartitionKey(new PartitionKey(idYapeAccount));
return cosmosAsyncDatabase.getContainer(CONTAINER_YAPE_ACCOUNT_STATUS)
.queryItems(sqsGetLastStatusQuery, options, YapeAccountStatus.class)
.singleOrEmpty()
.retryWhen(noLongerAvailable);
}
Update Operation
v2
public void TestReplaceDocument() throws DocumentClientException {
// Update a property
andersenFamily.setLastName("Petersons");
this.client.replaceDocument("/dbs/familydb/colls/familycoll/docs/Andersen.1", andersenFamily, null);
}
v4
private Mono<BlockedResources> replaceItem(BlockedResources blockedResources, CosmosItemRequestOptions options) {
return getBlockedResourcesContainer().replaceItem(blockedResources, blockedResources.getId(),
new PartitionKey(blockedResources.getResource()), options)
.retryWhen(noLongerAvailable)
.doOnSuccess(itemResponse -> blockedResources.set_etag(itemResponse.getETag()))
.map(itemResponse -> blockedResources);
}
Delete Operation
public void TestDeleteDocument() throws DocumentClientException {
this.client.deleteDocument("", null);
}
Known Limitations
Major limitations
No support for Cassandra API, MongoDB API, Gremlin API, Table API or other APIs built by Microsoft for accessing an Azure Cosmos DB service. See the API reference here:
Minor limitations
-
Database and collection names are resolved as known objects when a connection string is passed to the client directly:
- Example: This connection string is passed to client - “/dbs/familydb/colls/familycoll”
-
Database and collection are marked as Unknown when Database Collection and document objects are passed as an argument in CRUD methods.
-
Runtime Ambiguities are not resolved:
- Example: Different databases are accessed in if/else cases based on some conditions
