Unknown content type: json How to load JSON document as XML in MarkLogic 8

Question

I am trying to load a bunch of JSON files into MarkLogic 8 using MLCP and a basic transform script on ingest.

I can load the files as-is, I get JSON objects in ML.

What I want is to transform, on ingestion, from JSON to XML, so I wrote a basic transform like so :

xquery version "1.0-ml";

module namespace ingest = "http://dikw.com/ingest/linkedin";

import module namespace json="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/json" at "/MarkLogic/json/json.xqy";
import module namespace sem="http://marklogic.com/semantics" at "/MarkLogic/semantics.xqy";

declare namespace basic="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/json/basic";

declare default function namespace "http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions";

declare option xdmp:mapping "false";

declare function ingest:transform(
  $content as map:map,
  $context as map:map
) as map:map*
{
  let $org-doc := map:get($content, "value")
  let $jsonxml := json:transform-from-json($org-doc)
  let $name := $jsonxml//basic:full__name
  let $_ := xdmp:log(concat('Inserting linkedin profile ', $name, '.xml..'))
  let $new-doc := 
    document {
      <json>{
        $jsonxml
      }</json>
  }
  return (
    map:put($content, "value", $new-doc),
    $content
  )
};

Now if I use MLCP to load the docs without the transform it works but as stated above I get JSON inside ML8. (I use Roxy to invoke the right environment to load to for MLCP.)

./ml $ENV mlcp import -input_file_path content/linkedin -input_file_type documents

The above works ok.

But using the transform like so:

./ml $ENV mlcp import -input_file_path content/linkedin -input_file_type documents  -transform_module /ingest/linkedin.xqy -output_collections incoming,incoming/linkedin

I get an error: "ERROR contentpump.MultithreadedMapper: Unknown content type: json"

In the Query Console things work as expected, transforming a JSON variable into an XML document as expected...

What am I missing here?

@grtjn : I run it from latest roxy on github ./ml hugo mlcp -v java -cp "/usr/local/mlcp/lib/hadoop-auth-2.0.0-alpha.jar...lot-of-stuff-here..." com.marklogic.contentpump.ContentPump — Hugo Koopmans

If you don't recall which version of MLCP you installed yourself under /usr/local/mlcp/, then we might be able to deduce that from the xcc jar version. Does it show with -v? — grtjn

As per https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/content-pump#id_82518 there seems a few thigns missing.

You are not specifying a document-type to store (-document_type xml) - you are only storing xml, but using a "documents" as the input type (assuming these are .json extension?) - so the code doesnt know that the transform is converting from json to xmls.

You are not changing the URI - so the default mime mappings will not know that your input and output types expect to differ:

https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/content-pump#id_17589

No matter what suffix you use it wont work for a JSON input and XML storage without additional information supplied (see above links)

indeed when adding -document_type xml -transform_namespace dikw.com/ingest/linkedin it works... bit tricky that you have to specify in mlcp what you will do in the transform.xqy ... thx
