# MarkLogic

> Resources, examples, configuration and evidence for MarkLogic.

Use the `@bijection/connectors/marklogic` entrypoint to declare MarkLogic resources.

## Availability

This page describes the pinned source package. Published availability is unestablished for this artifact. [Source build and package availability](https://docs.bijection.com/client/sdk-distribution.md).

## Resources and modes

| Resource | Mode | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Document collection | `watermark` | Search watermark |

Declare a resource in application code, then bind deployment-specific settings and credentials. See [typed resources](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/resources.md), [connections](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/connections.md) and [source inspection](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/cli.md).

## Document collection

### watermark: Search watermark

The following example matches configuration `standard`.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { marklogic } from "@bijection/connectors/marklogic";
import { v } from "bijection/values";

export const orders = marklogic.collection.watermark({
  schema: { status: v.string() },
  watermark: "updatedAt",
});
```

> **Inferred record types**
>
> ```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
> {
>   "status": string;
>   "_uri": string;
>   "_version": string;
> }
> ```

#### Configuration: standard

Case: `marklogic/collection/watermark/standard`.

Connection and resource configuration are declared by this exact case.

Credential kind: `marklogic`. Keep credential material in the private credential inventory.

Hosted qualification: **unestablished for this catalog configuration**. Installed connections report their own identity, authority and current status.

## Provider guidance

Compiled declaration examples and configuration details are published in the [connector reference](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/connectors/index).

Bind the REST app server origin (`url`) on the connection and the MarkLogic
collection URI (`collection`) on the resource.

* **Mechanism.** `POST /v1/search?format=json` with a combined query: the
  collection, and the watermark property `>= since` and `< until`, sorted
  ascending by it, with `transform-results: raw` so each result carries its
  JSON document as `content`. The property needs an `xs:dateTime` range index.
* **Watermark.** A top-level JSON property in `toISOString()` UTC text, kept by
  writers, or a bitemporal collection's server-set `systemStart`. The
  `prop:last-modified` property (`maintain last modified`) is not used: it
  lives in the properties fragment, which search results do not return.
* **Consistency.** Each page is one query at one timestamp. Pages are not
  joined into a snapshot, so no `timestamp` pinning is used; the host keeps
  the largest watermark a page carried and re-reads that instant. `until` is
  now minus `settleMs` (default 5 s), the declared observation lag.
* **Version.** Search results carry no ETag, so the watermark is the version.
* **Credentials.** `marklogic.credential(name)` with Basic: the app server
  must accept `basic` or `digestbasic`, since HTTP Digest (MarkLogic's
  default) is not a native credential. A MarkLogic Cloud access token can be
  presented as a bearer and is replaced manually.
* **Deletions.** Not observed.

Not established: no request has reached MarkLogic; the raw-content result
shape is taken from documentation, and `systemStart` width is unverified.
