How to make a full initial copy

[ricardolimaui]

Hello, thank you for the work.

There is any way to make an inicial copy?

I'am getting this error
Pushing data to elasticsearch with id 8273781237127321783
(node:3222) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ResponseError: illegal_argument_exception

Any idea of this? I changed the name of the collection to be compatible to mine.
It is initialising correctly because I have "connected successfully!!".

It is really necessary to configure the tokens ?

Thank you

[AM]: There are many ways to deal with this

• Simplest and hacky way is to make a change to each document like an empty string etc which can trigger a change and will sync to elastic search.
• Take out the logic which inserts in to elastic search into a separate component and build something which reads records one by one and execute that piece of code. This is the recommended way.

[AM]: Worth putting the code in try catch and see what is the exact error you are seeing.

It is really necessary to configure the tokens ?
[AM]: It is not necessary. It is only required when you change stream stops for some reason and you need a way to resume it. This is again recommended way. Mongo 4+ onwards you can resume as per dates as well so no need to maintain resume tokens.
