How to use Glue job bookmark to read mongodb data and track last processed row using id column

Question

I have implemented aws glue job bookmark to read data from MongoDB and write to the s3 bucket, but when we run the script, every time it writes all data in a separate file : below are my code:
import sys
from awsglue.transforms import *
from awsglue.utils import getResolvedOptions
from pyspark.context import SparkContext
from awsglue.context import GlueContext
from awsglue.job import Job
import time
import logging
import urllib 
from pymongo import MongoClient
import sys
import nad_config
from datetime import date

## @params: [JOB_NAME]
args = getResolvedOptions(sys.argv, ['JOB_NAME'])

sc = SparkContext()
glueContext = GlueContext(sc)
spark = glueContext.spark_session
job = Job(glueContext)
job.init(args['JOB_NAME'], args)

#Production DB 
mongo_uri = "mongodb://ip_1_2_3_4.ap-south-1.compute.internal:27017/test?replicaSet=repomongo"

list = ['glue_bookmark']
today = date.today()
folder_name = today.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")

for i in list:
    org_id = i[12:18]
    read_mongo_options = 'read_mongo_options_'+org_id
    collection_name = i
    dynamic_frame =  'dynamic_frame'+org_id
     
    read_mongo_options = {
    "uri": mongo_uri,
    "database": "test",
    "collection": "test",
    "username": "test",
    "password": "test",
    "partitioner": "MongoSamplePartitioner",
    "partitionerOptions.partitionSizeMB": "10",
    "partitionerOptions.partitionKey": "id"}
   
    sub_folder_name = org_id;
    final_folder_path = folder_name+'/test/'
    
    datasource0 = glueContext.create_dynamic_frame_from_catalog(database = catalogDB,
        table_name = catalogTable,connection_type="mongodb",connection_options=read_mongo_options, transformation_ctx = "datasource0",additional_options = {"jobBookmarkKeys":["id"],"jobBookmarkKeysSortOrder":"asc"})
    
    datasink1 = glueContext.write_dynamic_frame.from_options(frame = datasource0,connection_type = "s3",connection_options = {"path": "s3://aws-glue-assets-123456-ap-south-1/"+final_folder_path},format = "json", transformation_ctx = "datasink1")
  
job.commit()

Answer

There is some new about Job Bookmark for mongodb connection ?

Answer

Please be advised that as per Job Bookmark documentation [1] this feature only supports S3 and JDBC sources Also from the way you have tried to implement Job bookmarks is specific for JDBC data stores. This does not support non-relational DB as the source & it is due to this you see your data is being reprocessed.

Workaround: I would also like you to consider overwriting the S3 location so you won't get the replicated data in output file everytime you run a job. You can do that with below commands:

```
df=dynamic_frame2.toDF()
df.write.mode('overwrite').parquet("s3:///")
```

Experiment: You can try to just enable bookmark for your job and use this code to create you dynamicFrame and then can run the job.

```
datasource0 = glueContext.create_dynamic_frame_from_catalog(database = catalogDB,
table_name=catalogTable,connection_type="mongodb",connection_options=read_mongo_options,transformation_ctx = "datasource0").
```
