collection.updateDocuments ,collection. replaceDocuments not working for JSON strings

[divyajana21]

Working with the arangodb java driver trying to do bulk operations, we're encountering that while the driver will allow us to update a single document as a json string (Key, Js string):

val js = ObjectToJson(obj).toString
db.collection.updateDocument(String,js)

it will not allow us to update a set of documents as Map(String,json string):
val js = ObjectToJson(obj).toString
db.collection.updateDocuments(Map(String,String))

Similarly, we are trying to do bulk operation on replaceDocuments

It allows,
val js = ObjectToJson(obj).toString
db.collection.replaceDocument(String,js)
but not,
db.collection.replaceDocuments(Map(String,String))

Hi,
the methods updateDocuments/replaceDocuments work with Collection<String> in the case of working with raw Json. You have to build the _key of the document - you want to update - in the document. (see here for example)

But beside that I find a bug in this methods, so thanks for reporting. I fixed it. You can test it with current snapshot version 4.1.8-SNAPSHOT. I will release a new version (4.1.8) within this week.

Thanks & Best
Mark
