Interactively Inspect Document Using Subdocument API

Description

cbc-subdoc runs an interactive shell with commands from subdocument API.

Options

Options may be read either from the command line, or from a configuration file (see cbcrc(4)):

The following options control workload generation:

@@common-options.markdown@@

The following options may be included in the connection string (via the -U option) as URI-style query params (e.g. couchbase://host/bucket?option1=value1&option2=value2) or as individual key=value pairs passed to the -D switch (e.g. -Doption1=value1 -Doption2=value). The -D will internally build the connection string, and is provided as a convenience for options to be easily passed on the command-line

Examples

Connect to the server and wait for commands:

cbc subdoc -u Administrator -P password -U couchbase://192.168.33.101/a_bucket
subdoc>

Create new document foo with empty JSON document:

subdoc> upsert foo {}
foo                  CAS=0x14d766f19a720000

Fetch document with virtual XATTR, containing its metadata:

subdoc> get -x $document foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d766f19a720000
0. Size=194, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"CAS":"0x14d766f19a720000","vbucket_uuid":"0x0000ef56295d9206",
"seqno":"0x0000000000000021","exptime":0,"value_bytes":2,
"datatype":["json","xattr"],"deleted":false,"last_modified":"1501782188"}
1. Size=2, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{}

Increment counter with path site.hits twice and set document expiration to 5 seconds. Note that it sends -i option to create site JSON object automatically:

subdoc> counter -e 5 -i -p site.hits=1 foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76764f3b60000
0. Size=1, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
1
subdoc> counter -e 5 -p site.hits=1 foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76765ea2b0000
0. Size=1, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
2
subdoc> get foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76765ea2b0000
0. Size=19, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"site":{"hits":2}}

...... wait for 5 seconds ......

subdoc> get foo
foo                  The key does not exist on the server (0xd)

Add into array at path ratings value 5. Note, that switch -u will ask server to create the document if it does not exist:

subdoc> array-add-first -u -p ratings=5 foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76814fbb00000
0. Size=0, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
subdoc> get foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76814fbb00000
0. Size=15, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"ratings":[5]}

Add several objects at once into ratings array:

subdoc> array-add-last -p ratings=4,6,7 foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d7687097c50000
0. Size=0, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
subdoc> get foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d7687097c50000
0. Size=21, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"ratings":[5,4,6,7]}

Remove rating with index 2 in array (third number):

subdoc> remove -p ratings[2] foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76885efd90000
0. Size=0, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
subdoc> get foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d76885efd90000
0. Size=19, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"ratings":[5,4,7]}

Insert new rating instead of removed one:

subdoc> array-insert -p ratings[2]=10 foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d768a6daee0000
0. Size=0, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
subdoc> get foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d768a6daee0000
0. Size=22, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"ratings":[5,4,10,7]}

Fetch number of the items in the ratings array:

subdoc> size -p ratings foo
foo                  CAS=0x14d768a6daee0000
0. Size=1, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
4

Create document with spaces (surround the value with single quotes, and escape inner single quotes with backslash \):

subdoc> upsert bar '{"text": "hello world"}'
bar                  CAS=0x14d768bc25270000
subdoc> get bar
bar                  CAS=0x14d768bc25270000
0. Size=23, RC=0x00 Success (Not an error)
{"text": "hello world"}
