What is the best way to clone data from one Azure Cosmos DB collection to another using the Gremlin API? I'm considering using the Azure Data Migration tool, but I'm not sure if it will work in this case. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi,@Surya Welcome to Microsoft Q&A thanks for posting your question.

    Gremlin API (using graph traversals) isn’t a good protocol for performing bulk data migrations. Any tool which can clone/migrate data between Cosmos DB collections would be appropriate for migrating the underlying data in the collection.

    I think the Data Migration Tool should be a reasonable choice. If it is for different account, then feel free to use Backup & Restore but it will copy all the collections. You can manually write code to copy the collection.

    Please let me know if you need any additional information.

    Regards
