  4. A Comparison of Two Large CSV Files in MuleSoft

A Comparison of Two Large CSV Files in MuleSoft

One file is 5 MB and the other is 1 MB. How can we deal with such large files without setting aside a huge amount of time?

In this scenario, we have two CSV files. The requirement is to replace the fourth field J_D with I_D in File 1 if first three fields in both the files are the same.

File 1: JDEFile

J_A,J_B,J_C,J_D
82301,8179613,20161219,555
82301,8179613,20161226,1155
82301,8179613,20170102,954
82301,8179613,20170109,668
82301,8179613,20170116,968
82301,8179613,20170123,602
82301,8179613,20170130,782
82301,8179613,20170206,815
82301,8179613,20170213,632

File 2: IL File

I_A,I_B,I_C,I_D
82301,8179613,20170213,632
82301,8179613,20170220,632
82301,8179613,20170206,810
82301,8179613,20170123,6021

Approach 1

<mulerequester:requestresource="file://D:/LOC/JDE_UPLOAD_REPORT.csv?autoDelete=false"doc:name="JD_File"/>
        <set-variable variableName="jdeFile" value="#[payload]"mimeType="application/csv" doc:name="JDEFile"/>
        <mulerequester:requestresource="file://D:/LOC/UK_EU_DSFCST_IL.csv?autoDelete=false"doc:name="IL_File"/>
        <set-variable variableName="ilFile" value="#[payload]"doc:name="ILFile" mimeType="application/csv"/>
        <dw:transform-message metadata:id="bb792c8d-6ebf-4343-a470-81746b5b1873" doc:name="FilterMap">
            <dw:input-variable mimeType="application/csv"variableName="jdeFile"/>
            <dw:input-variable mimeType="application/csv"variableName="ilFile"/>
            <dw:set-payload><![CDATA[
%dw 1.0
%output application/csv
%var D = null
%function checkPresence(A,B,C) flowVars.ilFile[?($[0] == A and $[1] ==B and $[2] == C)][0][3]  
---
flowVars.jdeFile map ((jdeFile , indexOfJdeFile) -> {
      R_A: jdeFile[0],
      R_B: jdeFile[1],
      R_C: jdeFile[2],
      R_D: checkPresence(jdeFile[0],jdeFile[1],jdeFile[2]) default 
             jdeFile[2]
})
]]></dw:set-payload>
</dw:transform-message>

Well, Approach 1 was not efficient for dealing with larger files. It takes more than 30 minutes to scan and compare. Let's move on to Approach 2.

Approach 2

File 1: JDEFile (size 5 MB).

File 2: IL File (size 1 MB).

XML flow.

The highlighted code shows the usage of a Java code inside a DataWeave script.

  • Read JD_File and store it in a flow variable named jdeFile as a string. Headers are explicitly added as the first line gets omitted in the responses of the DataWeave scripts.

  • Read IL_File and transform it into an ArrayList of HashMaps. 

  • Java code is used to add the elements of all the HashMaps in the ArrayList to one single HashMap. Refer to the file CreateHashMap.java.

Java Code

package filesrb.utils;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import org.mule.api.MuleEventContext;
import org.mule.api.lifecycle.Callable;

      public class CreateHashMap implements Callable {
      public void run() {       
      }

      @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
      @Override
      public Object onCall(MuleEventContext eventContext) throws Exception {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Map<String, String> ilfilemap  = new HashMap<String, String>();
            List<Map<String, String>> list = (ArrayList<Map<String, String>>) eventContext.getMessage().getPayload();
            for (Map<String, String> entry : list) {
                  String keyValue[] = new String[2];
                  int ctr=0;
                for (String key : entry.keySet()) {
                    String value = entry.get(key);
                    keyValue[ctr] = value;
                    ctr = ctr + 1;
                }
                ilfilemap.put(keyValue[0], keyValue[1]);
            }
            return ilfilemap;
      }
}

The above task can be done without using Java code. 

In this flow, we are adding values to a flowVariable in form of a HashMap using a Groovy script embedded inside the DataWeave script. Further, the same variable is used to get the value based on the key.
