Error during mongoimport

Question

I have a couple of valid JSON documents and I try to import them in mongodb.

{ "Books":
  [{ "ISBN":"ISBN-0-13-713526-2",
  "Price":85,
  "Edition":3,
  "Title":"A First Course in Database Systems",
  "Authors":[ {"First_Name":"Jeffrey", "Last_Name":"Ullman"},
              {"First_Name":"Jennifer", "Last_Name":"Widom"} ] }
,
{ "ISBN":"ISBN-0-13-815504-6",
  "Price":100,
  "Remark":"Buy this book bundled with 'A First Course' - a great deal!",
  "Title":"Database Systems:The Complete Book",
  "Authors":[ {"First_Name":"Hector", "Last_Name":"Garcia-Molina"},
              {"First_Name":"Jeffrey", "Last_Name":"Ullman"},
              {"First_Name":"Jennifer", "Last_Name":"Widom"} ] }],
"Magazines":
[{ "Title":"National Geographic",
  "Month":"January",
  "Year":2009 }
,
{ "Title":"Newsweek",
  "Month":"February",
  "Year":2009 },
{"Title": "Newsweek"}]
}

I got the following error:

Sun Mar 24 15:23:27 exception:BSON representation of supplied JSON is too large: Failure parsing JSON string near: "Month":"J Sun Mar 24

15:23:27 exception:BSON representation of supplied JSON is too large: Failure parsing JSON string near: "Year":200 Sun Mar 24 15:28:23

ERROR: encountered 28 errors

Could someone say what's wrong?

Answer 1

The following command from terminal worked good for me:

mongoimport -d my_db -c my_collection < my_json_file.json --batchSize 1

Some version needs to change the --batchSize 50 instead of 1 like below:

mongoimport -d my_db -c my_collection < my_json_file.json --batchSize 50
