Bulk Executor and Cosmonaut property attributes

[andremaree]

I am trying to use BulkExecutor and Cosmonaut. So I separated the bulk methods into its own class library and then I reference the dll of the project with BulkExecuter in it from the project that has Cosmonaut in. I want to use the same model/poco classes in both projects and pass a list to the project with BulkExecuter in it. It is all working except for 1 small thing - I ran into a problem because of the Cosmonaut property attributes [CosmosCollection("myName")] and [CosmosPartitionKey]. I can set the [CosmosCollection("myName")] by using the overriddenCollectionNameparameter. But there is no other way to set [CosmosPartitionKey].

Please add a way to set [CosmosPartitionKey] in a way that is not a property attribute.

Can't you specify the partition key at the RequestOptions level?

Yes that I can do for queries, but Cosmonaut creates the collections and then there is no partitionkey set when the collection is created. I am not sure if there are any other impact by not being able to set [CosmosPartitionKey] ?

"4.1.3 [CosmosPartitionKey] This is a parameterless attribute. It is used to decorate the property that represents the partition key definition of yourcollection. public class Book{ [CosmosPartitionKey] public string Name {get;set; }

In this case I have a partition key definition in my collection named/Name.By decorating theNameproperty with the CosmosPartitionKey attribute I enable Cosmonaut to do a lot ofbehind the scenes operation optimisation where it will set the partition key value for you if present, speeding up theoperation and making it more cost efficient."

If cosmonaut can be used without the property attributes then it becomes easy to have separate projects - 1 using cosmonaut and 1 using bulkexecutor. From the project using cosmonaut I am able to reference the project with bulkexecutor in it and call it. This is working and is an easy option as a way to use cosmonaut and bulkexecutor together.

You can disable the auto-creation of cosmonaut on startup in the CosmosStoreSettings object.

I still think that to be able to specify a partition key property without the attribute is a good idea so i will implement like this at some point, but probably not in the next month or so.

I'm open to implementation ideas or pull requests. The way I see it, you would need a Func that points towards the property you wanna use as your partition key when you initialize the CosmosStore.

Thanks, yes I will disable the auto-creation as suggested and do the collection creation within the project containing bulkexecutor using the normal .NET SDK.
