py-mongo-sync

It synchronizes data from a replica set to another MongoDB deployment, e.g., standalone, replica set, and sharded cluster.

It's oplog-based and provides a realtime data synchronization.

It's written in Python 2.7.

Support

• MongoDB 2.4
• MongoDB 2.6
• MongoDB 3.0
• MongoDB 3.2
• MongoDB 3.4

Features

• initial sync and oplog based incremental sync
• sync the specified databases and collections
• concurrent oplog replaying

Requirements

See requirements for details.

• gevent

• toml

• mmh3

• pymongo

  Always use pymongo 3.5.1.

  Refer to https://api.mongodb.com/python/3.6.0/changelog.html

  Version 3.6 adds support for MongoDB 3.6, drops support for CPython 3.3 (PyPy3 is still supported), and drops support for MongoDB versions older than 2.6. If connecting to a MongoDB 2.4 server or older, PyMongo now throws a ConfigurationError.

Notice

• source MUST be a replica set
• ignore system databases
  • admin
  • local
• ignore system collections
  • system.*
• create users for destination manually if necessary
• suggest to authenticate with administrator if source enabled authentication
• not support geospatial index

if the source is a sharded cluster

• first, stop the balancer
• then, start a seprate sync process for each shard

Configurations

Use TOML as configuration file format.

Refer to mongo_conf.toml.

src

Source config items.

• src.hosts - hostportstr of a member of replica set
• src.username - username
• src.password - password
• src.authdb - authentiction database

dst

Destination config items.

• dst.mongo.hosts
• dst.mongo.authdb
• dst.mongo.username
• dst.mongo.password

sync

Custom options for synchronization.

sync.dbs specfies the databases to sync. sync.dbs.colls specifies the collections to sync.

• sync.dbs - databases to sync, sync all databases if not specify
  • sync.dbs.db - source database name
  • sync.dbs.rename_db - destination database name, stay the same if not specify
  • sync.dbs.colls - collectons to sync, sync all collections if not specify

coll in sync.dbs.colls element specifies the collection to sync. fileds in sync.dbs.colls element specifies the fields of current collection to sync.

log

• log.filepath - log file path, write to stdout if empty or not set

Usage

Command options has functional limitations. It's strongly recommended that use config file.

sync

usage: sync.py [-h] [-f [CONFIG]] [--src [SRC]] [--src-authdb [SRC_AUTHDB]]
               [--src-username [SRC_USERNAME]] [--src-password [SRC_PASSWORD]]
               [--dst [DST]] [--dst-authdb [DST_AUTHDB]]
               [--dst-username [DST_USERNAME]] [--dst-password [DST_PASSWORD]]
               [--start-optime [START_OPTIME]]
               [--optime-logfile [OPTIME_LOGFILE]] [--logfile [LOGFILE]]

Sync data from a replica-set to another MongoDB/Elasticsearch.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f [CONFIG], --config [CONFIG]
                        configuration file, note that command options will
                        override items in config file
  --src [SRC]           source should be hostportstr of a replica-set member
  --src-authdb [SRC_AUTHDB]
                        src authentication database, default is 'admin'
  --src-username [SRC_USERNAME]
                        src username
  --src-password [SRC_PASSWORD]
                        src password
  --dst [DST]           destination should be hostportstr of a mongos or
                        mongod instance
  --dst-authdb [DST_AUTHDB]
                        dst authentication database, default is 'admin', for
                        MongoDB
  --dst-username [DST_USERNAME]
                        dst username, for MongoDB
  --dst-password [DST_PASSWORD]
                        dst password, for MongoDB
  --start-optime [START_OPTIME]
                        timestamp in second, indicates oplog based increment
                        sync
  --optime-logfile [OPTIME_LOGFILE]
                        optime log file path, use this as start optime if
                        without '--start-optime'
  --logfile [LOGFILE]   log file path

TODO List

• command options tuning
• config file format tuning
• sync sharding config (enableSharding & shardCollection)
