MarkLogic Content Pump (mlcp) is a command-line tool that provides the fastest way to import, export, and copy data to or from MarkLogic databases. Core features of mlcp include:
- Bulk load billions of local files
- Split and load large, aggregate XML files or delimited text
- Bulk load billions of triples or quads from RDF files
- Archive and restore database contents across environments
- Export data from a database to a file system
- Copy subsets of data between databases
You can run mlcp across many threads on a single machine or across many nodes in a cluster. Mlcp can now run against MarkLogic clusters hosted on AWS/Azure.
The MarkLogic Connector for Hadoop is an extension to Hadoop’s MapReduce framework that allows you to easily and efficiently communicate with a MarkLogic database from within a Hadoop job. From 10.0-5, Hadoop Connector is removed from a separate release, but mlcp still uses Hadoop Connector as an internal dependency.
- Now requires JRE 11 or later.
- Added support for reverse proxy and connection to MarkLogic Cloud.
- Upgraded Jena libraries from 2.13.0 to 4.9.0 to mitigate security vulnerability.
- Upgraded Jackson, Hadoop, Xstream, and Guava libraries to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
- Removed an unused json dependency to mitigate security vulnerability.
- Upgraded libthrift from 0.14.0 to 0.17.0 to mitigate security vulnerability.
- Upgraded Hadoop Library to 3.3.4
- Upgraded jackson-annotations, jackson-core, jackson-databind, Xerces, woodstox-core to mitigate security vulnerability.
- Bug fixes.
