Mongo DB Java 3.x Driver - Group By Query

Question

I'd like to learn how to implement group by query using Mongo DB Java 3.x Driver. I want to group my collection through the usernames, and sort the results by the count of results DESC.

Here is the shell query which I want to implement the Java equivalent:

db.stream.aggregate({ $group: {_id: '$username', tweetCount: {$sum: 1} } }, { $sort: {tweetCount: -1} } );

Here is the Java code that I have implemented:

BasicDBObject groupFields = new BasicDBObject("_id", "username");

// count the results and store into countOfResults
groupFields.put("countOfResults", new BasicDBObject("$sum", 1));
BasicDBObject group = new BasicDBObject("$group", groupFields);


// sort the results by countOfResults DESC
BasicDBObject sortFields = new BasicDBObject("countOfResults", -1);
BasicDBObject sort = new BasicDBObject("$sort", sortFields);

List < BasicDBObject > pipeline = new ArrayList < BasicDBObject > ();
pipeline.add(group);
pipeline.add(sort);

AggregateIterable < Document > output = collection.aggregate(pipeline);

The result I need is the count of documents grouped by username. countOfResults returns the total number of the documents the collection has.

You should try not to use old object (BasicDBObject) types with Mongo 3.x. You can try something like this.

import static com.mongodb.client.model.Accumulators.*;
import static com.mongodb.client.model.Aggregates.*;
import static java.util.Arrays.asList;

Bson group = group("$username", sum("tweetCount", 1));
Bson sort = sort(new Document("tweetCount", -1));
AggregateIterable <Document> output = collection.aggregate(asList(group, sort));
