Springdata mongodb aggregation match - spring

Question

After asking question to understand a bit more of the aggregation framework in MongoDB I finally found the way to do aggregation for my need (thanks to a StackExchange user)
So basically here is a document from my collection:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("s4dcsd5s4d6c54s6d"),
"items" : [
{
type : "TYPE_1",
text : "blablabla"
},
{
type : "TYPE_2",
text : "blablabla"
},
{
type : "TYPE_3",
text : "blablabla"
},
{
type : "TYPE_1",
text : "blablabla"
},
{
type : "TYPE_2",
text : "blablabla"
},
{
type : "TYPE_1",
text : "blablabla"
}
]
}
The idea was to be able to filter only some elements of my collections (avoiding Type 2 and 3). In fact I have more than 30 types and 6 are not allowed but for simplicity I made this example.
So the aggregation command in command line is this one:
db.history.aggregate([{
$match: {
_id: ObjectId("s4dcsd5s4d6c54s6d")
}
}, {
$unwind: '$items'
}, {
$match: {
'items.type': { '$nin': [ "TYPE_2" , "TYPE_3"] }
}
},
{ $limit: 10 }
]);
With this I am able to retrieve the 10 elements items of this document which do not match TYPE_2 and TYPE_3
However when I am using spring data there is no output. I looked a bit at the example to build mine but its still not working.
So I did:
Aggregation aggregation = newAggregation(
match(Criteria.where("id").is(myID)),
unwind("items"),
match(Criteria.where("items.type").nin(ignoreditemstype)),
limit(3),
skip(offsetLong)
);
AggregationResults<PersonnalHistory> results = mongAccess.getOperation().aggregate(query,
"items", PersonnalHistory.class);
PersonnalHistory is marked with annotation #Document(collection = "history") and id with the #id annotation
ignoreditemstype is a list containing TYPE_2 and TYPE_3
Here is what I have in the toString method of aggregation:
{
"aggregate" : "__collection__" ,
"pipeline" : [
{ "$match": { "id" : "s4dcsd5s4d6c54s6d"} },
{ "$unwind": "$items"},
{ "$match": { "items.type": { "$nin" : [ "TYPE_2" , "TYPE_3" ] } } },
{ "$limit" : 3},
{ "$skip" : 0 }
]
}
I tried a lot of stuff (to have at least an answer :) ) like removing id or the nin:
aggregation = newAggregation(
unwind("items"),
match(Criteria.where("items.type").nin(ignoreditemstype)),
limit(3),
skip(offsetLong)
);
aggregation = newAggregation(
match(Criteria.where("id").is(myid)),
unwind("items")
);
For information when I do a simple query like:
query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("id").is(myID));
My document is returned. However I have thousands of items. So I just want to have the 15 first (in fact the 15 first are the 15 last added)
Do you maybe see what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Yeah looks like you are passing simple String while it is expecting ObjectId
Aggregation aggregation = newAggregation(
match(Criteria.where("_id").is(new ObjectId(myID))),
unwind("items"),
match(Criteria.where("items.type").nin(ignoreditemstype)),
limit(3),
skip(offsetLong)
);
Now the question is why it works with simple query, my answer would be because spring-data driver is not that mature at least not with aggregation pipeline.
