Implement bulk import API

[gauravkumar37]

Old version of the driver v2.x has a bulk import API but the new ones do not.
Please implement the bulk import API https://docs.arangodb.com/3.1/HTTP/BulkImports/index.html

Hi,

I have not implemented it yet because with version 4.1.x we extends the document API with multi document operations. You can insert multiple documents with ArangoCollection#insertDocuments(Collection<T>).
If this is not enough I can implement the bulk umport API within this week.

Best,
Mark

Hi,

Thanks for the update.
I need an API which allows me to insert multiple documents in 1 go. The behavior should be to create the documents if they don't already exist. If they do exist, whether to update them or to replace them should be passed via a flag.
Current APIs for multi document insert fail if documents already exist. Multi document replace fail if they don't exist.
Earlier, bulk API allowed me to do that.

Thanks,
GK

import API implemented in version 4.1.3

Note:
ArangoCollection#importDocuments(Collection<?>,DocumentImportOptions) works fine.

ArangoCollection#importDocuments(String, DocumentImportOptions ) for raw Json import currently works only with JSON array and not with line separated JSON object. Also importByHeaderValues is not implemented yet. These features require a change in VelocyStream which is planned for a future server release.
