nodbi

nodbi provides a single user interface for interacting with many NoSQL databases.

So far we support the following DBs:

• MongoDB
• Redis (server based)
• CouchDB
• Elasticsearch
• etcd

Currently we have support for data.frame's for the following operations

• Create - all DBs
• Exists - except MongoDB
• Get - all DBs
• Query - except Redis, etcd
• Delete - all DBs
• Update - just CouchDB

Install

cran version

install.packages("nodbi")

dev version

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/nodbi")

library("nodbi")

Initialize connections

Start CouchDB on the cli or with the app

src_couchdb()
#> src: couchdb 2.3.0 [127.0.0.1/5984]
#> databases: cats, df, flights, foobar, geotest, mtcars, mtcars2, sofadb, test,
#>      testing123

Start Elasticsearch, e.g.:

cd /usr/local/elasticsearch && bin/elasticsearch

src_elastic()
#> src: elasticsearch 7.0.0 [127.0.0.1:9200]
#> databases: gbifgeo, mtcars, gbif, plos, diamonds_small

Start etcd after installing etcd (https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases) by, e.g.: etcd

src_etcd()
#> src:
#>   etcd server: 3.3.11
#>   etcd cluster: 3.3.0

If you want to use classic Redis server, we do that through the redux package, and you'll need to start up Redis by e.g,. redis-server in your shell.

src_redis()
#> src: redis 1.1.0 [127.0.0.1:6379]
#> keys: diamonds, mtcars, foo

Start MongoDB: mongod (may need to do sudo mongod)

src_mongo()
#> MongoDB 4.0.5 (uptime: 2300s)
#> URL: leothelion.local/test

CouchDB

src <- src_couchdb()
docout <- docdb_create(src, key = "mtcars", value = mtcars)
head( docdb_get(src, "mtcars") )
#>    mpg cyl disp  hp drat    wt  qsec vs am gear carb

etcd

src <- src_etcd()
ff <- docdb_create(src, "/mtcars", mtcars)
head( docdb_get(src, "/mtcars") )
#>    mpg cyl disp  hp drat    wt  qsec vs am gear carb

Elasticsearch

Put the iris dataset into ES

src <- src_elastic()
ff <- docdb_create(src, "iris", iris)
head( docdb_get(src, "iris") )
#>   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
