  1. user authentication

    Hy

    It would be extremely useful to be able to create users who can only connect to the database from specific networks or even specific IP addresses, similar to what is possible with MySQL.

    For example, using the following commands:

    CREATE USER 'user_name'@'10.214.3.0' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON shorturl.* TO 'user_name'@'10.214.3.0';

    You can create a user who can access the database only from the network with the IP address 10.214.3.0.

    I would like to know if it is possible to achieve similar functionality in mongodb as well. This would be very useful for my purposes, as I want…

  2. Introduce a new field BucketLifeSpan Optional along with Granularity

    An enhancement to MongoDB's management of time series collections could involve the introduction of a BucketLifeSpan attribute, in addition to the existing Granularity setting. This new, optional attribute would automate the duration a bucket can remain open, with the condition that Granularity should be less than or equal to BucketLifeSpan.

    Consider a use case involving a time series collection for tracking data from 70,000 socket devices daily, with DeviceId as the metafield. Assuming data is organized into daily collections and granularity is set to minutes to optimally fill the buckets unless they reach their size limit.

    For a collection named…

  3. Lock on session start level with provided keys

    Scenario:
    Parallel DB updates with transactions on multiple collections that use same documents.
    Example: Calculate some common stuff to embed it in extra collections to avoid lookups.

    Problem:
    Lock and timeout on documents uses up valuable time and performance.
    Also lock conflicts produce a huge amount of exceptions that need to be handled.

    Idea:
    Key-based sessions

    Example:
    Session A with Keys 1 and 2 is started.
    Session B tries to start with Key 1. Key 1 is locked with Session A. Session B waits till Session A is finished.

    In this case transaction doesn't start with updating and failing. Waiting…

  4. Should be possible to configure profiling output destination

    When enabling database profiling the output is sent to both the system.profile collection and system logs. Logging to a capped collection is fine but spamming the logs on disk is not good.

    We have a need to be able to react to changing query patterns quickly, so we have profiling enabled in production on a busy system and we do real-time analysis on the the system.profile collection. This works fine and the performance hit is acceptable but our system logs on disk grows a lot.

    Please make it possible to configure if profile logging should go to disk, collection or…

  5. Include or flag nodes seen more than once / duplicates when traversing with $graphLookup

    When traversing a graph with $graphLookup, we suppress duplicates (in cases of cycles). It would be useful to have an option to include a flag indicating a node that caused the traversal to stop due to duplication.

  6. Change Timeseries Bucket Memory Limit

    Currently, there's no way to set a memory threshold for bucket allocation in MongoDB's time series collections. As the bucket size increases and more collections are opened day after day, a limiting mechanism triggers for open buckets, leading to cache pressure and the premature closing of buckets under high load. It would be beneficial for users to have the ability to set a memory threshold for the timeseries bucket memory limit ( I guess limit is around 3GB). It enabling us to prevent early bucket closure in production environments. Alternatively, providing the option to manually close buckets could help manage…

  8. TTL index activity statistics

    Dear all,

    Presently, there is no visibility or tracking of TTL index activity: no data available to the user to see how much data and how often has been deleted. I suggest having a separate “dictionary” collection with statistics for all TTL indexes with pre-defined data retention (aka last month).

    Thank you for looking at that.

    Regards, Marina.

  9. Make $merge support DELETE operation

    Currently, the $merge only supports insert/update/upsert/merge behaviour. It would be great to support delete behaviour. A common use case would be in-place document deduplication/clean-up in a collection.

  10. Allow to define access to DBs/collections by prefix or pattern.

    Please extend ACL to support prefixes (or regex) in the database name/collection.
    Currently only allowed ALL (when empty string provided) or exact db/collection matching when provided.

    Use case: Several services are using the same cluster but need to be isolated. Every service can get readWriteAnyDatabase but only to databases prefixed by some prefix.
    Services need to create new databases on the fly, so it is not possible to define a list of databases upfront.

    For example - rwRoleForService1 allows "update", "insert", and "remove" operations only on databases prefixed by "service1-" (sevice1-db1, sevice1-db2, ....)
    {
    role: "rwRoleForService1",
    privileges: [
    {
    {…

  11. Sorting support on Array fields.

    Presently, I'm attempting to arrange(sort) the documents within my collection based on a key nested within an array object. However, sorting isn't functioning as expected in this scenario.

  14. JSON

    I'm converting a lot of data for export from MongoDB -> Postgresql

    I would like an aggregation function to convert an object to JSON

    {
    "$addField": {
    "_id": true,
    "json": {
    '$convert': {
    'input': '$subdocument',
    'to': 'json', # // Idealy, +1 for msgpack https://msgpack.org/
    }
    }
    }
    }

    thus object.json would be a STRING "{abc: true}"

    FYI: Postgresql supports JSON(B) in it's field structures: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html

  15. Self-Managed Computed Collections

    This feature would enable MongoDB to automatically generate common patterns by computing entire collections. A particularly useful application would be the ability to identify duplicate fields within a collection and create a computed collection that groups all possible duplicate together.

    Sometimes, a field is duplicated between two documents, while another field in the same document is duplicated across seven other documents. Each of these seven documents might have fields that are duplicated in yet other documents, leading to a vast iteration in search of possibilities.

    Having MongoDB abstract all this logic in a performant manner to create computed collections would…

  16. support parallel query executions include find(), aggregation()

    To use multi-core environment and enhance the query performance w/ a large amount of documents, need a parallel execution.
    Sharding or microsharding is not an alternative in this case.

  17. TTL index throttling for deletion

    To avoid deletion impact, we need to control the quantity and speed of document generations(insert).
    Need a way to throttle down the deletion quantity per a delete operation.

    i.e. # of documents per a ttl delete, sleep time between deletions(default 60s)

    My account is stuck in "We are deploying your changes (current action: configuring MongoDB)" endless loop for the entire eveing and I cannot finish my project for tomorrow. Cannot connect to my database even with a saved IP.
    Yes it's a free account, but this is not a way to just kill any possibility to connect to a simple database. This is a flop

  19. Fine-tune the update privilege action

    We want our devs to be able to update docs, but only one at a time. If they need to update a bunch together, they should check in with the DBA. Right now, we can't fine-tune the update permissions like we'd prefer, so we're looking into ways to make that happen. This will help us manage document updates better and add a layer of security.
