subject:"\[julia\-users\] Re\: MongoDB and Julia"

Kevin,

I also managed to get Pzion's Mongo.jl to work in Julia v0.3. Now, I am 
trying to make it work in v0.4 but getting an error message while trying to 
insert:

oid = insert(collection, {"name"=>"time series"})



WARNING: deprecated syntax "{a=>b, ...}" at In[36]:1. Use "Dict{Any,Any}(a=>b, 
...)" instead. 

LoadError: MethodError: `convert` has no method matching convert(::Type{Ptr{
Void}}, ::Array{UInt8,1})
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor Ptr{Void}(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.
Closest candidates are:
 call{T}(::Type{T}, ::Any)
 convert{T}(::Type{Ptr{T}}, !Matched::UInt64)
 convert{T}(::Type{Ptr{T}}, !Matched::Int64)
 ...
while loading In[36], in expression starting on line 1
 

 in insert at /Users/szalmaf/.julia/v0.4/Mongo/src/MongoCollection.jl:42 


Did you try Mongo.jl in Julia v0.4? Do you have any suggestions as to how 
to go about getting rid of the LoadError above? It seems like a generic 
problem when switching from v0.3 to v0.4.

Cheers

Did you try running Pkg.checkout("Mongo")? I believe that I fixed this, but
the maintainer may not have pushed a new tag.

Re: [julia-users] Re: MongoDB and Julia

Alright. So I had to checkout LibBSON and build it separately form Mongo, 
then restarting the kernel insert works in v0.4, too.

I just tried `delete` and `find` and these two operations work. `insert` 
however does not work.

Re: [julia-users] Re: MongoDB and Julia

Yes, I also tried running Pkg.checkout("Mongo"). I also checked that the 
original MongoCollection.jl had find(...), while the checked-out version 
has Base.find(...) methods. I also restarted the kernel to make sure it 
picked up the changes. 

Could you test that Mongo with the Julia v0.4 works properly on your side? 
It'd also be nice to get a hint on what this convert(::Type{Ptr{Void}}, 
::Array{UInt8,1}) is and what's the problem with. I am pretty new to Julia.

Hi Kevin! Thank you immensely for the advice. I read about libclang's 
limitations 
http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/07/03/parsing-c-in-python-with-clang/ and 
I decided I will work on CMongo.jl and make it right and complete. Will 
keep the community posted. Cheers

 Hi, Kevin,

 Regarding modeling language, I wouldn't recommend it here. It's great that 
 you want a complete package, and it's fine if you want to learn some 
 modeling language. But my opinion is that modeling languages like UML are 
 targeted at projects in OO languages with much more overhead than Julia 
 (e.g., Java or C++) or projects which need a strong specification (e.g., 
 government projects), and where that spec needs to be shared among people 
 who may not need, want, or be able to talk with one another.  I don't have 
 the impression that this project fits any of those requirements, and most 
 people reading this list won't be familiar with them.  (If you're doing it 
 just to learn that tool, fine.)

 That doesn't mean you shouldn't be organized--it really means you 
 shouldn't worry about designing and implementing the project all at once. 

 I recommend incremental implementation. That either means 1. continue 
 working with the Mongo.jl code, adding functionality (and 
 tests) incrementally, or 2. wrap the library using Clang.jl, and add tests 
 for each function incrementally. 

 Anyway, just my opinion.

 lots 
 of functions, or complicated structs with lots of members, this can make 
 wrapping relatively easy.

 very low level of abstraction.  Actually, very little abstraction,

 to try to get a basic working system in place, and post your progress when

 One more thing you should look at is Clang.jl, which makes wrapping C

Hi Kevin,

I'm sorry to hear (and see) that you haven't gotten much help on the
Julia mailing list. It's probably just that your request hasn't fallen on
the ears of anyone who has interest in both Mongo and Julia and the time to
help. I'm almost in that category, in that I have a small interest in
Mongo (and a lot of interest in Julia), but only so much time.

I will say that once you get something working, the mailing list will
usually be a good resource, but it works best if you have specific
questions or problems (e.g., I'm trying to do this with the following code,
but it's not working--what am I doing wrong) vs. general requests (e.g.,
asking for help wrapping mongo with a mostly empty repo).

I'm assuming this is your first major Julia project? If so, my first
suggestion is to ignore everything written below (for now), and try to get
the Mongo.jl library running on a modern Julia first, and make sure you
understand everything that it's doing. Only after that would I try
anything below.

In truth, I don't know the best way forward, but I can give you a little
more information, and maybe it will help you decide.

Clang.jl is a general framework for wrapping C libraries. It's never
necessary--any C library can be called directly using ccall. But ccalls
can be kind of clunky, so Clang.jl provides an API which very closely
mimics the C API provided in some header file: functions have very similar
signatures, and structs become julia types. For a large library with lots
of functions, or complicated structs with lots of members, this can make
wrapping relatively easy.

While the output of Clang.jl is usually reasonably nice, it's still a
very low level of abstraction. Actually, very little abstraction, because
it matches the C library, which is usually very low level, and still
somewhat inconvenient in Julia (but more convenient than ccalls). To be
useful, you'll often want to add a higher level API on top of that, which
adds functions and/or types that encompass or simplify the lower level
calls.

It's also often the case that Clang.jl doesn't give you exactly what you
need--e.g., it doesn't know how to wrap certain things, such as unions and
C macros. In those cases, you'll have to edit the output by hand, or spend
some time programmatically filtering/modifying the results. I do this a
bit in the wrapper for VideoIO
https://github.com/kmsquire/VideoIO.jl/blob/master/util/wrap_libav_split.jl
(and
I still have to edit some files by hand at the end).

The main alternative is to wrap a subset of useful functions by hand (or
simply use ccall directly, which amounts to pretty much the same thing).
This is probably closer to what the Mongo folks had in mind when they
directed you to the Lua driver. If you only need access to a few
functions, or if your code is highly specialized in a way that Clang.jl has
trouble with, wrapping by hand can be the way to go. For this, you're
basically writing Julia functions which ccall out to external library
functions (such as those in mongo), and returns the result (or some
modification thereof that matches what would normally be done in Julia).

Hopefully this was useful. Please feel free to post back here with
questions, and I (and maybe others, if the question is right) will try to
answer as we have time.

 Hi Kevin,

 If you plan to make this a Julia package (and I encourage you to do so),
 it would be good to look at the Julia package naming conventions
 http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/packages/#guidelines-for-naming-a-package.
 You might consider choosing a different name, generating a package
 skeleton, and moving the files in this repo there.  Alternatively, renaming
 that repo shouldn't be hard.

 (This isn't mentioned explicitly there, but dashes also won't work for
 Julia package names.)

2015-07-21 Thread Kevin Liu

Hi, I just spoke to Jesse Davis, the author and maintainer of the C Mongo 
driver, and he gave me some precious advice. The C driver passes the YAML 
tests. Using this driver's public API will also get me the implementation 
of two specs right away and for free: the Server Selection Spec and the 
Server Discovery and Monitoring Spec, which is probably the most 
complicated part about MongoDB and allows an app using it to be highly 
available. 

He pointed out to the Lua driver, which is a wrapper around the C driver 
https://github.com/10gen-labs/mongorover

He said the Julia driver won't need to test against YAML tests or the two 
specs mentioned. He told me to pass a connection string to the C driver 
from Julia, and the C driver will implement the specs.

 I think this is why it's untestable.

 Lytol/Mongo.jl looks abandoned.  It has a bunch of issues created over 
 the past 2 years and
 the last update was in 2013 the pzion repo is a fork which was updated 4 
 months ago, maybe
 it's abandoned too and you'll have to fork.  But it's at least work 
 contacting him.

Have you tried opening issues on the relevant packages? Most people here 
(myself included) won't know much about mongoDB or these packages.

You may also try Pkg.add(ODBC) if you can find a working ODBC driver for
mongo. I feel like I've heard of people going this route.
