I have a JSON file consisting of about 2000 records. Each record which will correspond to a document in the mongo database is formatted as follows:
{jobID:"2597401",
account:"XXXXX",
user:"YYYYY",
pkgT:{"pgi/7.2-5":{libA:["libpgc.so"],flavor:["default"]}},
startEpoch:"1338497979",
runTime:"1022",
execType:"user:binary",
exec:"/share/home/01482/XXXXX/appker/ranger/NPB3.3.1/NPB3.3-MPI/bin/ft.D.64",
numNodes:"4",
sha1:"5a79879235aa31b6a46e73b43879428e2a175db5",
execEpoch:1336766742,
execModify: new Date("Fri May 11 15:05:42 2012"),
startTime: new Date("Thu May 31 15:59:39 2012"),
numCores:"64",
sizeT:{bss:"1881400168",text:"239574",data:"22504"}},
Each record is on a single line in the JSON file, and the only line breaks are at the end of every record. Therefore, each line in the document starts with "{jobID:"... I am trying to import these into a mongo database using the following command:
mongoimport --db dbName --collection collectionName --file fileName.json
However, I get the following error:

I do not know what the problem is. Can someone recommend a solution?
I was able to fix the error using the following query:
mongoimport --db dbName --collection collectionName --file fileName.json --jsonArray
Hopefully this is helpful to someone.
