Loading Content Using MarkLogic Content Pump
MarkLogic Content Pump (mlcp) is a command line tool for getting data into and out of a MarkLogic Server database. Using mlcp, you can import documents and metadata to a database, export documents and metadata from a database, or copy documents and metadata from one database to another.
The tool supports a variety of input formats, including flat files and compressed files, on the native file system or on HDFS. You can also use mlcp with Hadoop to load large amounts of content distributed across a Hadoop cluster.
For details, see the mlcp User Guide.
