  1. Amazon Linux 2023 Support for MongoDB 6.0 and OpsManager 6.0

    Amazon Linux 2023 is supported in rapid releases from 6.2.0 and will be supported in the upcoming 7.0 release of MongoDB, however it appears there is currently no plan to support AL2023 for the 6.0 release of MongoDB. Can support for AL2023 be added to the 6.0 branch for both MongoDB and OpsManager?

  2. Support indexes on single array elements (e.g. "MyArray.0")

    Currently, if I create an index on an array field and specify an element number ("MyArray.0"), the system still indexes the whole array as normal.

    Normally, this might increase the index size but at least it's still useful when querying MyArray.0 later.

    However, it would be better to be able to index individual numbered elements in cases like compound indexes where I might need to check whether two arrays are non-empty, and I can't use a compound index for a query on MyArray.0 and MyOtherArray.0 at the same time due to the multi-array limitation.

    For MongoDB folks with access to…

  3. Implement $bucket and $group on indexed values with sub-linear runtime

    We noticed that sum $bucket and $group aggregations such as $min, $max, $count are unexpectedly slow even when fully covered by an index, (partially) because the DB scans through the entire index rather than employing optimization approaches such as binary search.

    An example pipeline that should return instantaneous but scans through the entire index (confirmed on v4.4 and v5):
    [
    {
    $match: {
    status: "DELIVERED",
    },
    },
    {
    $group: {
    id: {
    status: "$status",
    },
    min: {
    $min: "$modify
    time",
    },
    },
    },
    ]
    with an index { status: 1, modify_time: 1}

    Another example is $bucket (same index):
    [
    {…

  4. Support compound/multiple grouping keys in $bucket

    We often need to compute statistical/summarizing aggregations grouped by more than one field where all fields are of a $bucket-able type.

    An example, would be to count all orders grouped by their status and some custom time ranges of their creation date.
    This can be achieved by using $group in combination with a $switch expression (sometimes simplified with $trunc), however, that is cumbersome and prevents efficient grouping since e.g. no binary search can be employed to identify the bucket boundaries efficiently.

    The query syntax of $bucket would not need to change much. It would simply need to allow for nested…

  5. Budget limit for serverless pay as you go mode

    I was looking at the serverless pay-as-you-go option for my DB so I could have continuous backup and snapshots but I found it too risky. Currently, the only protection user has is alerts when RPUs go over a certain budget threshold. I would like to be able to set a budget limit that would prevent me from going over pre-set daily budget. If you would get hit with DOS or some other brute force attack you could rack up lots of traffic and get an unexpected bill without a potential limit.

  6. Add operator that would calculate distance between 2 geolocation points

    It would be great to have operator that would calculate distance between 2 geolocation points, and not to do it manually with big aggregate queries.

    I suggest to add 2 new operators that would calculate distance in two different ways, as discussed in this Community Post: https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/how-to-calculate-distance-between-two-geolocation-points/173045

  7. Handle Daylight Saving Time when $densify is used on a date field

    When using "day" as "unit" for a $densify pipeline stage on a date field, the date is always advanced of 24 hours. This is however not always the expected result in timezones in which the year has one 23-hour and one 25-hour long day, because of Daylight Saving Time.

    It would be useful to have the possibility to pass an optional timezone parameter in the $densify stage and, when present, have the stage account for these exceptions when appropriate.

    Here follows an example.

    Assume we have a collection containing the following documents:

    db.densifyDateExample.insertMany([
        {_id: "a", d: ISODate("2022-10-28T22:00:00Z")},
        {_id: "b", d:

  9. sharding error shardsvr

    Make it clear which node is causing the "shardsvr" error.

    Spawned from support case 01042995

    Our error occurred when the user tried to connect using Compass. The failure was to list the collection names on one database.

    The error presented back to the user was merely Cannot accept sharding commands if not started with --shardsvr

    We found eventually that the primary changed on one of the shards, and that primary did not have the appropriate clusterRole in the mongod.conf file. My concerns are that this took too long to track down and would be impossible in a 100-shard environment.

  11. Change stream Monitoring/Aletring in management

    how to monitor change stream activity per namespace
    1. Number of Change streams per namespace
    2. Set + Manage the allowed number of change streams
    3. A metrics UI tab for OpsManager.
    4. Alert if the number of change streams exceeds the set limit.

    This will assist in managing the cluster and also avoiding any issue that may arise from highly demanding change streams that take up RAM and compute.

  13. Support change streams without service discovery

    Currently, change streams are not supported in standalone instances, so testing change stream functionality requires a one-node replica set. However, promoting a standalone node to a one-node replica set requires a call to rs.initiate(config), which requires host and port information so that clients can connect; something that is not required for standalone nodes. This means change stream support is conflated with service discovery. It becomes impossible, for example, to create a docker image that boots as a single-node replica set, while it's trivial to make a docker image that boots as a standalone server.

    Various ideas that would make…

  14. Avoid truncating the query on the Atlas profiler or system.profile collection

    Slow running queries that are captured in system.profile collection or on profiler page of Atlas are truncated if the query is too long. As an Application DBA, it would be difficult to analyse the query without figuring out the actual query. The current limitation of command document is 50Kb. Request you to consider this limitation to avoid truncation of queries.

  16. Expose individual command execution time

    Many MongoDB drivers currently expose events (CommandSucceededEvent say) which provide an elapsed time. However, that elapsed time is the round-trip time, which is not super useful as that can be measured by a programmer manually. It would be neat if there was a way to get the actual time spent by the server on a per-command basis. This data is computed somewhere as it is exposed in Atlas metrics as Execution Time.

    There's the explain facility but this is just to get an estimate of a query's cost. I would be interested in knowing how much time the server spent…

  17. Use a private peering that resolves to the private IP address of your LDAP server.

    We need to consume an LDAP server traffic through Private Endpoints. In the documentation we find that only creating a public endpoint it's possible but we have a security restriction. Our TAM suggested create a feedback request to the product owner.
    tks!

  18. Improve fortification coverage with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3

    MongoDB Server codebase uses _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 fortification level (e.g. see v7.0, latest at the moment: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/v7.0/SConstruct#L4698).
    Consider changing it to a new fortification level (_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3) provided by GCC 12 to improve DB's security.

  19. I believe the future is for AI to assist the user in simple but sometimes frustrating tasks like connecting or finding the correct build

    An Artificial Intelligence assistance would be very useful to the user for finding the correct configuration and helping set up connections. There are many deprecated components, especially if you are trying to integrate a IoT platform like Raspberry Pi. It would be great for the system to recognize what you are trying to do and guide you along the right path.
