  1. Reduce the minimum value for watchdogPeriodSeconds

    The storage watchdog attempts to create, write, and read a test file in critical directories every 10 seconds.

    The watchdogPeriodSeconds parameter controls how often these a thread checks to ensure at least one check has succeeded since the last check.

    The minimum value for watchdogPeriodSeconds is 60 seconds. This means that in the worst case, the mongod could be unable to write for up to 2 minutes before the watchdog asserts and kills the stalled node. That is a very long time for a primary node to be stalled in a busy cluster.

    It does make sense that watchdogPeriodSeconds must…

  2. More complex balancer windows for sharded clusters

    Currently we can define a single balancer window which is applied for every day of the week. It would useful to extend this with, for example:

    • multiple windows per day (e.g. 2-4am and 9-11pm)
    • custom windows for days of the week (e.g. Sat 5pm-midnight, Sunday 0-24)

  3. Auditing requirement for the changes done through Ops Manager portal

    Changes done through Ops Manager portal are visible only in Alerts(Activity Feeds). Though these Alerts(Activity Feeds) can be derived through API, our auditors may not accept API calls and we need ops manger to log these change in respective deployment mongo audit.log

  5. Elevate hidden replica to a voting member when quorum is lost for a Replica Set

    The MongoDB engine should allow for hidden members in a replica set to be automatically elevated to a voting member. When quorum is lost and can't be met, the hidden replica is automatically reconfigured to a voting member to obtain quorum.
    When the failed voting member comes back online and catches up the hidden replica is demoted back to a normal hidden member.

  6. Diacritic insensitive contains search on a single field

    I would like to perform a "contains" query on a single text field in a case insensitive and diacritic insensitive way. I would like the query to have the performance of the field being in a text index by itself (assuming that this gives the maximum speed).

    It is usually the case that the text index already exists for multiple fields. This means that a text search then has to be combined with a complicated (to make it diacritic insensitive) regex expression to find the correct results.

  8. Add an option for $addToSet to use a specific field in the array for uniqueness

    Currently, the $addToSet for upserting to an array checks for object equality (when the array elements are objects). We sometimes need to check for uniqueness based on a specific field of the object rather than the object as a whole, and the only way to do this is to force single-threaded operation and to use $pull and $push.

    If there is a way to specify the field to check uniqueness for the $addToSet , we would be able to perform writes normally.

  9. Extended JSON

    Add support for Extended JSON (EJSON. For example, {$date: "2021-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"} ) such that we do not have to resort to using the ISODate helper function in the MongoDB Shell and in Compass.

  10. Arrow function support

    Is there any plan to implement arrow functions support?
    The current way to use functions (BSON type 13) is using traditional javascript functions:

    function() {
    ...
    emit(key, value);
    }

    It would be great to support also arrow functions:

    () => {
    ...
    emit(key, value);
    }

  11. Assign MongoDB roles to LDAP users

    I would like to create a softlab and therefore give the possibility to a user to create collections in a database which is dedicated to him.

    Currently, to do that I need to :
    1. create a single-member LDAP group for each user
    2. map this group to a MongoDB role authorizing the user's database.

    Create a group with a single member is conceptually useless. I want to avoid step 1.

    My feature request : add the ability to assign MongoDB roles to LDAP users as well as groups.

    Regards,
    Jerome

  12. Burstable IOPS for MongoDB Atlas on Azure

    According to Azure documentation, bursting is enabled by default for all VMs that using Premium SSD (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disks-types#bursting). It would be great if MongoDB Atlas on Azure can get benefit from it.

  13. Allow multiple text indexes per collection

    MongoDb only allow one text index by collection, in contrast of other index types.

    This is a limitation that makes it difficult to develop projects with search functionality, for example, if you want to add a text search for advanced users on all fields and a public search on a subset of fields, there isn't a simple and performant way to solve it.

    Many developers end up using other products like elastic search, or creating additional collections and using lookup, or using preg_reg or building smart indexes when the creation of multiple text indexes per collection would allow a quick,…

  15. Kafka audit event streaming

    Provide Kafka Topic as a write target for database auditing and database message logging.
    https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/auditing/
    Auditing is currently limited to a local and editable JSON/BSON file or the system console log.

    The SYSLOG is not recommended by MongoDB. "The syslog message limit can result in the truncation of the audit messages. The auditing system will neither detect the truncation nor error upon its occurrence."

    wiredTiger open files usage

    Currently WT uses a file per collection and index, leading in some scenarios to extremely high number of open files/dhandles.

    Is there any plan to support one file/dhandle per database?

  17. 4.4 to the EU on regular instance for development!

    I work on mongodb in the EU.. i want to use the atlas search but i also need some features of v4.4

    In development and for general everyday projects where our clients don't have large user bases we generally go for M2 instances.. affordable while offering full text search.

    The release of 4.4 is almost half a year old.. when will we see 4.4 released to the EU of regular M2 instances??

  18. Ability to enable collection name enforcement

    Currently if you perform a find or other operation, and you have a typo in your collection name, the operation will execute successfully and there is no indication that the collection you are operating on doesn't exist. It would be handy if there were some sort of session variable that could be set that tells the engine, to return an error if the collection being operated on does not exist. For example, lets say we have a collection named "myCollection". If I issue a find with a typo in the collection name from the shell like:

    db.myCollectio.find();

    This will successfully…

  19. geoIntersects feature for 2D index

    At Airbus, we would like to use geoIntersects feature with 2D Index.
    We don't need 2DSphere Index, but we have to use it if we want to have geoIntersects avalaible.
    As a consequence, we have to manage Spherical margins which introduces a useless and hard to maintain workaround in our product.
    Could you please plan to implement geoIntersects and not only geoWithin with 2D Index ?
    Thank you

  20. Add a "Limit" to Delete and Bulk Delete operations

    Deleting tens of millions of documents can have a big impact on the performance of the Clusters, even using Bulk Delete. A "Limit" must be added to Delete and Bulk Delete to let us limit the number of operations, making sure we do not kill the Clusters' performance.

    • For the delete, this would make sure we only delete n number of documents.
    • For the Bulk Delete, this would also make sure we only delete n number of documents, or it could instead limit the number of batches/groups of documents to be deleted.

    Right now, the only solution is a hack,…
