In this type of Job, tMongDBInput is used to provide lookup data, when the size of the lookup data fits the amount of memory allocated for the execution of the Job. It is executed once to read data from MongoDB and store the data in memory so that the micro-batches from the main flow can easily access the data. If the lookup data is too large to be stored in memory, it is recommended to use tMongoDBLookupInput instead, which loads only the data matching the lookup join key.
This component is available in Talend Real Time Big Data Platform and Talend Data Fabric.
