Mongo _id kettle
I'm trying to take a breath using the _id field in Mongo.
I tried to restore the _id first using the Json input step, no luck with $ ._ id or $ ._ id. $ oid
Does anyone know how to upsert from _id?

Once you have the _id, convert it to extended JSON notation as denoted by Stennie with a Modified Javascript Value
      
        
        
        
      
    script like:
var _id = '{ "$oid": "' + _id + '" }';
      
        
        
        
      
    
      In step, MongoDB Output
      
        
        
        
      
    set column JSON
      
        
        
        
      
    to Y
      
        
        
        
      
    for row _id
      
        
        
        
      
    . I'm not sure when this JSON variant was introduced, but found it in the latest CI Kettle build today.
