Mongoimport of json file

Question

I have a json file consisting of about 2000 records. Each record which will correspond to a document in the mongo database is formatted as follows:

{jobID:"2597401", 

account:"XXXXX", 

user:"YYYYY", pkgT:{"pgi/7.2-5":{libA:["libpgc.so"],flavor:["default"]}}, startEpoch:"1338497979", 

runTime:"1022", 

execType:"user:binary", exec:"/share/home/01482/XXXXX/appker/ranger/NPB3.3.1/NPB3.3-MPI/bin/ft.D.64", 

numNodes:"4", 

sha1:"5a79879235aa31b6a46e73b43879428e2a175db5", execEpoch:1336766742, 

execModify: new Date("Fri May 11 15:05:42 2012"), 

startTime: new Date("Thu May 31 15:59:39 2012"), 

numCores:"64", sizeT:{bss:"1881400168",text:"239574",data:"22504"}},

Each record is on a single line in the JSON file, and the only line breaks are at the end of every record. Therefore, each line in the document starts with "{jobID:"... I am trying to import these into a mongo database using the following command:

mongoimport --db dbName --collection collectionName --file fileName.json

However, I get the following error:

I do not know what the problem is. Can someone recommend a solution?

Answer 1

You can fix the error using the following query:-

mongoimport --db dbName --collection collectionName --file fileName.json --jsonArray

Answer 2

You can try the following code:

mongoimport --db dbName --collection collectionName --file fileName.json –jsonArray

The issue is because of your date format.
