$out
On this page
$out takes documents returned by the aggregation pipeline and writes them to a specified collection. The $out operator must be the last stage in the aggregation pipeline. In Atlas Data Lake, you can use $out to write data from any one of the supported data stores or multiple supported data stores when using federated queries to any one of the following:
- S3 buckets with read and write permissions
- Atlas cluster namespace
You must connect to your Data Lake to use $out.
