What is marklogic-bulk-import?

A guide for loading large amounts of data into MarkLogic, a database for storing and searching documents. It covers files, web addresses, cloud storage, databases, data archives, and RDF, a format for linked data.

Use it to import CSV, TSV, JSON, JSONL, Parquet, Avro, ORC, RDF, database records, or MLCP archives, and to reprocess existing documents with server-side transformations.

It avoids sending documents one at a time or using methods that cannot handle larger loads. It also helps choose the correct import method for each file format.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00139	$0.01862
Opus 5.5	$0.00056	$0.00745
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00028	$0.00372
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00186

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 7ef5ba279604, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

marklogic-bulk-import scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MarkLogic Bulk Import & Reprocess

Flux is the first-choice path for any bulk or URL-based load. Prefer it over ml_eval_javascript (≈10 KB payload cap, no parallelism) and ml_document_put (one document at a time) for anything beyond ~5–10 documents.

Choosing the subcommand

Source	`subcommand`
CSV / TSV / delimited	`import-delimited-files`
Individual JSON or XML files (one file → one document)	`import-files`
A JSON file containing an array of records, or JSONL	`import-aggregate-json-files`
Parquet / Avro / ORC	`import-parquet-files` / `import-avro-files` / `import-orc-files`
Relational database	`import-jdbc`
MLCP archive	`import-mlcp-archive`
Turtle / N-Triples / JSON-LD / RDF-XML	`import-rdf-files`

import-files does not parse JSONL — each line would be treated as a separate file path. Multi-record JSON always uses import-aggregate-json-files.

Canonical recipes

1. CSV from a public URL with auto-TDE (most common)

subcommand="import-delimited-files", http_url="https://example.com/data.csv",
collections=["my-data"], generate_tde=true, tde_schema="myschema", tde_view="myview"

2. Socrata open data — use the resource API, not the bulk export:

a) subcommand="import-delimited-files", http_url="https://data.wa.gov/resource/abc.csv?$limit=50000"
b) subcommand="import-files",           http_url="https://data.wa.gov/resource/abc.json?$limit=50000"

See references/socrata-and-open-data.md before using any /rows.* endpoint.

3. Headerless CSV (e.g. GDELT events)

subcommand="import-delimited-files", http_url="https://...",
column_names=["Col1","Col2",...], extra_args=["--delimiter","\t","--ignore-null-fields"]

4. JDBC

subcommand="import-jdbc", jdbc_url="jdbc:postgresql://host/db",
jdbc_driver="org.postgresql.Driver", query="SELECT * FROM mytable",
collections=["my-data"], generate_tde=true

The driver JAR must be on the flux-runner classpath.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
