Compose helps with database transformations from one store to another. It can also sync from one to another or several stores.

Build

make sure godep is installed, go get github.com/tools/godep and then build with godep go build -a ./cmd/...

Configure

There is a sample config in test/config.yaml. The config defines the endpoints, (either sources or sinks) that are available to the application.

api:
  interval: 60s # time interval between metrics posts to the api endpoint
  uri: "http://requestb.in/1a0zlf11"
nodes:
  localmongo:
    type: mongo
    uri: mongodb://localhost/boom
  supernick:
    type: elasticsearch
    uri: http://10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2:9200/indexname
  debug:
    type: file
    uri: stdout://
  foofile:
    type: file
    uri: file:///tmp/foo
  stdout:
    type: file
    uri: stdout://

There is also a sample 'application.js' in test/application.js. The application is responsible for building transporter pipelines. Given the above config, this Transporter application.js will copy from a file (in /tmp/foo) to stdout.

Source({name:"foofile"}).save({name:"stdout"})

This application.js will copy from the local mongo to a file on the local disk

Source({name:"localmongo", namespace: "boom.foo"}).save({name:"tofile"})

Transformers can also be configured in the application.js as follows

var pipeline = Source({name:"mongodb-production", namespace: "compose.milestones2"})
pipeline = pipeline.transform("transformers/transform1.js").transform("transformers/transform2.js")
pipeline.save({name:"supernick", namespace: "something/posts2"});

Run

• list transporter list --config ./test/config.yaml
• run transporter run --config ./test/config.yaml ./test/application.js
• eval transporter eval --config ./test/config.yaml 'Source({name:"localmongo", namespace: "boom.foo"}).save({name:"tofile"})'
• test transporter test --config ./test/config.yaml test/application.js

Complete beginners guide

OS X

• ensure you have mercurial installed as it is required for a dependency
  • using the homebrew package manager brew install hg Homebrew Guide/Install
• install the Mac OS X binary build from https://golang.org/dl/
• follow instructions on http://golang.org/doc/install
• VERY IMPORANT: Go has a required directory structure which the GOPATH needs to point to. Instructions can be found on http://golang.org/doc/code.html or by typing go help gopath in terminal.
• setup the directory structure in $GOPATH
  • cd $GOPATH; mkdir src pkg bin
  • create the github.com path and compose mkdir -p src/github.com/compose; cd src/github.com/compose
  • clone transporter git clone https://github.com/compose/transporter; cd transporter
  • run go get to get all the dependencies go get -a ./cmd/...
  • now you can build go build -a ./cmd/...

At this point you should be able to run transporter via $GOPATH/bin/transporter, you may need to add $GOPATH to your PATH environment variable. Something along the lines of export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH" should work.
