Generating mock data
We used the mockaroo online mock data generator to create some mock data. Unfortunately, it only allows 1,000 records for free so we were limited to that. For our case study, we have generated data for employees with some basic personal information, along with salary.
Refer to the following image to understand the schema of data:

As you can see in the preceding image, we have chosen various keys related to employees and downloaded it as a JSON file. It will return the data format as 1,000 objects residing in one array; that is exactly what we need to dump the data in the RethinkDB database.
RethinkDB provides two ways in which you can import your data into the RethinkDB database for further analysis:
- Importing data in RethinkDB using HTTP
- Importing data via file read
In this section, we will cover both of them in detail along with uploading our dataset to RethinkDB.
