[SOLVED] - Insert or update bulk records

help
1

How can I update or insert bulk operations in Meteor Mongodb?

Here is my simple script:

var obj = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 100000; i++){
    obj.push({title: i, inTime: new Date(), outTime: new Date})
}

Activities.bulkWrite([
    { 
        insertMany: obj
    }
])

Why I am getting this error:

Exception while invoking method TypeError: Activities.bulkWrite is not a function

2

Use Collection.rawCollection() e.g. Activities.rawCollection().bulkWrite()

Note that this action is async

3

So I should not worry about the reactivity of records in Meteor subscriptions?

4

It should reflect on mongodb oplog and therefore to meteor’s default reactivity

5

it works in default meteor. with oplog, subscribers will be notified immediatly. Without oplog, the server polls the db every 5 seconds for changes on that, which also works.

Be careful that this does NOT work with redis-oplog. I do not recommend to use redis-oplog in general, because it has many pitfalls like this (only use it if you know exactly how it needs to be used)
