MongoDB Tutorial 4

Posted by Derek Banas on Dec 24, 2015 in Web Design | 0 comments

I received a bunch of questions about using Map Reduce in MongoDB, so here I provide a bunch of examples. First I’ll cover Map Reduce using straight JavaScript. Then we’ll cover increasingly complex MongoDB Map Reduce queries. Then finally I’ll cover using Group and Distinct.

All of the code used is available after the video below. If you missed previous tutorials, you should watch my first MongoDB tutorial to start.

Code & Transcript From the Video

---------- Map / Reduce ----------

1. Map/Reduce allows you to split a large problem into smaller parts.
The Map excepts data and transforms it into key / value pairs by applying
multiple JavaScript functions. 
The Reduce excepts the key / value pairs and reduces them into a
smaller aggregation of key / value pairs.

2. Why is Map useful?
var students = [
	{name : "Dale Cooper", class: "Calculus", tests: [30, 28, 45]},
	{name : "Harry Truman", class: "Geometry", tests: [28, 26, 44]},
	{name : "Shelly Johnson", class: "Calculus", tests: [27, 26, 43]},
	{name : "Bobby Briggs", class: "College Algebra, tests: [20, 18, 35]"},
	{name : "Donna Heyward", class: "Geometry", tests: [28, 28, 44]},
	{name : "Audrey Horne", class: "College Algebra", tests: [22, 26, 44]},
	{name : "James Hurley", class: "Calculus", tests: [20, 20, 38]},
	{name : "Lucy Moran", class: "College Algebra", tests: [26, 24, 40]},
	{name : "Tommy Hill", class: "College Algebra", tests: [30, 29, 46]},
	{name : "Andy Brennan", class: "Geometry", tests: [20, 21, 38]}
	];

var studNames = [];

for( i=0; i < students.length; i++){
	studNames.push(students[i].name)
}

studNames

// With Map you can cycle the values through a callback function

var studInfo = students.map(function(x) {
	return x.name + ' is in ' + x.class;
});

studInfo

Why is Reduce useful?

var tests = [
	{score: 30}, 
	{score: 28},
	{score: 45}
]

// Reduce receives an object and a starting object
// Sum is our final value and tests is the thing we iterate
var testSum = tests.reduce(function(sum, tests){
	return sum + tests.score;
}, 0)

testSum

3. Delete a database by switching to it and dropping it
use testdb
db.dropDatabase()

4. Add to classes collection

startDate : new Date(2016, 1, 11),
students : [
	{fName : "Andy", lName : "Brennan", age : 36},

}
})

db.classes.insert({
class : "Chemistry 101",
startDate : new Date(2016, 1, 13),
students : [
	{fName : "Bobby", lName : "Briggs", age : 21},
	{fName : "Donna", lName : "Hayward", age : 21},

book:
{
	isbn: "0547219474",

}
})

4. Map is called for every document in the collection. Map sends the total student name list to reduce.
var mapFunc = function() {
	for(i = 0; i < this.students.length; i++){
		var student = this.students[i];

		// Emit gets 2 arguments being the key on which you want to group the 
		// data and the data itself
		emit(student.fName + " " + student.lName, 1);
	}
};

5. Reduce is called by map and receives all the values for the given key. Then we add how many times the student name shows up in the collection of documents.
var reduceFunc = function(student, values) {
	count = 0;

	for(i = 0; i < values.length; i++){
		count += values[i];
	}
	return count;
};

6. Define the map and reduce functions and where to output the results
db.classes.mapReduce(
	mapFunc,
	reduceFunc,
	{ out: "map_ex" }
)

7. "counts" : {
		"input" : 6, // 6 Classes sent to map
		"emit" : 20, // 20 total students input with duplicates
		"reduce" : 7, // 7 students are in more then 1 class
		"output" : 11 // Output all 11 students their classes
	}

8. Show the results db.map_ex.find()

9. Get all the professors
var mapFunc2 = function(){
	emit(this.professor,1);
}

10. Sum the number of times they appear
var reduceFunc2 = function(professor, count){
	return Array.sum(count);
}

11. With query only output data for Alice Jones
db.classes.mapReduce(
	mapFunc2,
	reduceFunc2,{ 
	query:{professor: "Alice Jones"},
	out: "map_ex_2" 
	}
)

12. Output every topic to be reduced
var mapFunc3 = function(){
	var topics = this.topics.split(',');
	for(i in topics){
		emit(topics[i], 1);
	}
}

13. Count up the total times each topic is covered across all classes
var reduceFunc3 = function(key, values){
	var count = 0;
	for(i in values){
		count += values[i];
	}
	return count;
}

db.classes.mapReduce(
	mapFunc3,
	reduceFunc3,
	{ out: "map_ex_3" }
)

14. Send the cost to attend each of the professors classes to reduce
var mapFunc4 = function(){
	emit(this.professor, { count: 1, cost: this.cost });
}

15. Reduce down to professor and cost
var reduceFunc4 = function(professor, values){
	var value = { count: 0, cost: 0 };

	for(i = 0; i < values.length; i++){
		value.count += values[i].count;
		value.cost += values[i].cost;
	}
	return value;
}

16. Condense the results down to show the average of all the professors classes
var finalizeFunc4 = function(professor, value) {
	value.average = (value.cost / value.count);
	return value;
}

17. 
db.classes.mapReduce(
    mapFunc4,
    reduceFunc4,
    { out: "map_ex_4", 
    finalize: finalizeFunc4
    }
)

---------- Random Database Commands ----------

1. Distinct returns all distinct values for a given key
db.runCommand({"distinct" : "classes", "key" : "professor"})

2. Group allows you to perform complex aggregations and then separate the results into groups. Let's get every book title that costs more then $110
db.runCommand(
   {
     group:
       {
       	 // The collection
         ns: 'classes',
         // Keys to retrieve
         key: { 'book.price': 1, 'book.title': 1 },
         // Condition that must be met
         cond: { 'book.price': { $gt: 110 } },
         // Not reducing the results
         $reduce: function ( curr, result ) { },
         // Stores the initial value the first time reduce is called
         initial: { }
       }
   }
)

3. Calculate the total cost of books for each class
db.runCommand(
   { group:
       {
         ns: 'classes',
         key: { 'book.price': 1, 'book.title': 1 },
         cond: {  },
         $reduce: function ( curr, result ) {
                     result.total += (curr.book.price * curr.students.length);
                  },
         initial: { total : 0 }
       }
    }
)

---------- Map / Reduce ----------

1. Map/Reduce allows you to split a large problem into smaller parts.

The Map excepts data and transforms it into key / value pairs by applying

multiple JavaScript functions.

The Reduce excepts the key / value pairs and reduces them into a

smaller aggregation of key / value pairs.

2. Why is Map useful?

var students = [

{name : "Dale Cooper", class: "Calculus", tests: [30, 28, 45]},

{name : "Harry Truman", class: "Geometry", tests: [28, 26, 44]},

{name : "Shelly Johnson", class: "Calculus", tests: [27, 26, 43]},

{name : "Bobby Briggs", class: "College Algebra, tests: [20, 18, 35]"},

{name : "Donna Heyward", class: "Geometry", tests: [28, 28, 44]},

{name : "Audrey Horne", class: "College Algebra", tests: [22, 26, 44]},

{name : "James Hurley", class: "Calculus", tests: [20, 20, 38]},

{name : "Lucy Moran", class: "College Algebra", tests: [26, 24, 40]},

{name : "Tommy Hill", class: "College Algebra", tests: [30, 29, 46]},

{name : "Andy Brennan", class: "Geometry", tests: [20, 21, 38]}

];

var studNames = [];

for( i=0; i < students.length; i++){

studNames.push(students[i].name)

}

studNames

// With Map you can cycle the values through a callback function

var studInfo = students.map(function(x) {

return x.name + ' is in ' + x.class;

});

studInfo

Why is Reduce useful?

var tests = [

{score: 30},

{score: 28},

{score: 45}

]

// Reduce receives an object and a starting object

// Sum is our final value and tests is the thing we iterate

var testSum = tests.reduce(function(sum, tests){

return sum + tests.score;

}, 0)

testSum

3. Delete a database by switching to it and dropping it

use testdb

db.dropDatabase()

4. Add to classes collection

4. Map is called for every document in the collection. Map sends the total student name list to reduce.

var mapFunc = function() {

for(i = 0; i < this.students.length; i++){

var student = this.students[i];

// Emit gets 2 arguments being the key on which you want to group the

// data and the data itself

emit(student.fName + " " + student.lName, 1);

}

};

5. Reduce is called by map and receives all the values for the given key. Then we add how many times the student name shows up in the collection of documents.

var reduceFunc = function(student, values) {

count = 0;

for(i = 0; i < values.length; i++){

count += values[i];

}

return count;

};

6. Define the map and reduce functions and where to output the results

db.classes.mapReduce(

mapFunc,

reduceFunc,

{ out: "map_ex" }

)

7. "counts" : {

"input" : 6, // 6 Classes sent to map

"emit" : 20, // 20 total students input with duplicates

"reduce" : 7, // 7 students are in more then 1 class

"output" : 11 // Output all 11 students their classes

}

8. Show the results db.map_ex.find()

9. Get all the professors

var mapFunc2 = function(){

emit(this.professor,1);

}

10. Sum the number of times they appear

var reduceFunc2 = function(professor, count){

return Array.sum(count);

}

11. With query only output data for Alice Jones

db.classes.mapReduce(

mapFunc2,

reduceFunc2,{

query:{professor: "Alice Jones"},

out: "map_ex_2"

}

)

12. Output every topic to be reduced

var mapFunc3 = function(){

var topics = this.topics.split(',');

for(i in topics){

emit(topics[i], 1);

}

13. Count up the total times each topic is covered across all classes

var reduceFunc3 = function(key, values){

var count = 0;

for(i in values){

count += values[i];

}

return count;

}

db.classes.mapReduce(

mapFunc3,

reduceFunc3,

{ out: "map_ex_3" }

)

14. Send the cost to attend each of the professors classes to reduce

var mapFunc4 = function(){

emit(this.professor, { count: 1, cost: this.cost });

}

15. Reduce down to professor and cost

var reduceFunc4 = function(professor, values){

var value = { count: 0, cost: 0 };

for(i = 0; i < values.length; i++){

value.count += values[i].count;

value.cost += values[i].cost;

}

return value;

}

16. Condense the results down to show the average of all the professors classes

var finalizeFunc4 = function(professor, value) {

value.average = (value.cost / value.count);

return value;

}

17.

db.classes.mapReduce(

mapFunc4,

reduceFunc4,

{ out: "map_ex_4",

finalize: finalizeFunc4

}

)

---------- Random Database Commands ----------

1. Distinct returns all distinct values for a given key

db.runCommand({"distinct" : "classes", "key" : "professor"})

2. Group allows you to perform complex aggregations and then separate the results into groups. Let's get every book title that costs more then $110

db.runCommand(

{

group:

{

// The collection

ns: 'classes',

// Keys to retrieve

key: { 'book.price': 1, 'book.title': 1 },

// Condition that must be met

cond: { 'book.price': { $gt: 110 } },

// Not reducing the results

$reduce: function ( curr, result ) { },

// Stores the initial value the first time reduce is called

initial: { }

}

)

3. Calculate the total cost of books for each class

db.runCommand(

{ group:

{

ns: 'classes',

key: { 'book.price': 1, 'book.title': 1 },

cond: { },

$reduce: function ( curr, result ) {

result.total += (curr.book.price * curr.students.length);

initial: { total : 0 }

}

)
