Examples: Updating JSON Documents

This section contains sample code that updates a JSON document in a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON table using an OJAI mutation. It also shows the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell syntax for updating documents.

See Using OJAI Mutation Syntax for more details about OJAI mutations.

The following code is available at OJAI_012_UpdateDocument.java. It does the following:

Finds a document using the DocumentStore.findById method
Creates a DocumentMutation that updates a field
Updates the document by calling the DocumentStore.update method
