Assignment 11

Title: Implement Map reduces operation with suitable example using MongoDB.

Theory:

Map-reduce is a data processing paradigm for condensing large volumes of data into useful
aggregated results. MongoDB uses mapReduce command for map-reduce operations.
MapReduce is generally used for processing large data sets.

MapReduce Command

Following is the syntax of the basic mapReduce command −

>db.collection.mapReduce(

function() {emit(key,value);}, //map function

function(key,values) {return reduceFunction}, { //reduce function

out: collection,

query: document,

sort: document,

limit: number

The map-reduce function first queries the collection, then maps the result documents to emit key-
value pairs, which is then reduced based on the keys that have multiple values.

In the above syntax −

 map is a javascript function that maps a value with a key and emits a key-value pair

 reduce is a javascript function that reduces or groups all the documents having the same
key

 out specifies the location of the map-reduce query result

 query specifies the optional selection criteria for selecting documents


 sort specifies the optional sort criteria

 limit specifies the optional maximum number of documents to be returned

Using MapReduce

Consider the following document structure storing user posts. The document stores user_name of
the user and the status of post.

"post_text": "tutorialspoint is an awesome website for tutorials",

"user_name": "mark",

"status":"active"

Now, we will use a mapReduce function on our posts collection to select all the active posts,
group them on the basis of user_name and then count the number of posts by each user using the
following code −

>db.posts.mapReduce(

function() { emit(this.user_id,1); },

function(key, values) {return Array.sum(values)}, {

query:{status:"active"},

out:"post_total"

The above mapReduce query outputs the following result −

"result" : "post_total",

"timeMillis" : 9,

"counts" : {
"input" : 4,

"emit" : 4,

"reduce" : 2,

"output" : 2

},

"ok" : 1,

The result shows that a total of 4 documents matched the query (status:"active"), the map
function emitted 4 documents with key-value pairs and finally the reduce function grouped
mapped documents having the same keys into 2.

To see the result of this mapReduce query, use the find operator −

>db.posts.mapReduce(

function() { emit(this.user_id,1); },

function(key, values) {return Array.sum(values)}, {

query:{status:"active"},

out:"post_total"

).find()

The above query gives the following result which indicates that both users tom and mark have
two posts in active states −

{ "_id" : "tom", "value" : 2 }

{ "_id" : "mark", "value" : 2 }


Conclusion: Thus we have implemented map reduce operations using MongoDB.
