Use Import Filters

Provides an example configuration suitable for beginning to use Import Filters

For clusters with a large amount of data, the initial import process can take considerable time to complete. Therefore, to get started with a cluster which contains a large number of pre-existing documents, we recommend to use an import_filter to reduce the initial import processing time.

Configuration properties:

1	The user’s username that you created on the Couchbase Server Admin Console.
2	The user’s password that you created on the Couchbase Server Admin Console.
3	The shared bucket access feature allows Couchbase Server SDKs to also perform operations on this bucket.
4	`num_index_replicas` is the number of index replicas stored in Couchbase Server, introduced with GSI/N1QL indexing. If you’re running a single Couchbase Server node for development purposes the `num_index_replicas` must be set to `0`.
5	Only import documents which have a `type` property equal to `mobile`.
