  1. Add option to repair a single collection

    Add support for repairing a single collection instead of what is currently available to repair an entire database via db.repairDatabase()

  2. provide faster way to perform a count() on million documents

    a couple of customer a shifting from MongoDB to other DBs like Redis or even PostreSQL as count is too slow on MongoDB when there are a lot of document to count even with use of indexes

  3. Pass document field to $loolup.from and $lookup.as

    Suppose I have collection of documents { entityId, entity }, where entity is names of other collections I would like to make aggregation with lookup and be able to pass entity value to $lookup from and as

    db.collection.aggregation([{ $lookup: { from: '$entity', let: { entityId: '$entityId' }, pipeline: [{ $match: { $expr: { $eq: ['$_id', '$$entityId'] } } }], as: '$entity' } }])

    As of mongo v4.4.4 that seems not working.

  4. Have a role that allows that user to control the schema of a collection

    As a DBA or Data Architect, I want to be able to enforce data governance policies like schema control. Users of MongoDB cannot change the schema however DBA or named individuals have the ability to change the schema.

  5. 2dindex

    geoIntersect queries on spherical geometries are not adapted to our use case. Our need is to retrieve a list of tiles intersecting a given area of interest (AOI) in a flat 2d geometry.

    Classical geo-spatial databases (PostGIS and Oracle Spatial) support this kind of approach at no extra cost and we would expect the same from MongoDB.

    In MongoDB , using a 2dsphere index forces us to implement a workaround adding an artificial margin to the AOI and making a post-processing to remove false positives. See attached slides for explanations.

    Best Regards

  6. Support for Ubuntu 20.4 in MongoDB Server version 4.2

    Per the Server Support Matrix https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/ support for Ubuntu 20 is in MongoDB Server version 4.4+ but not 4.2.
    We would like to see the currently supported MongoDB Server version 4.2 available on the Ubuntu 20.4 LTS distribution.

  7. log connection string used by application to connect

    there are multiple options to connect to mongo: you can connect to specific node or you can connect to the whole replicaset etc...
    if DBA does not have access to source code - it's not possible to validate if application properly configured and connects to replicaset.

    it would be nice to let mongoDB dump to mongod.log used connection string and/or details how exactly client sessions is connected to mongo.

  8. Low latency Change Stream for Global Cluster in Atlas

    our event-driven applications need to publish events to Kafka triggered by Change Stream feature. It works perfect in replicaset MongoDB cluster.

    However, after migrating to Global Cluster in Atlas, the Change Stream cannot keep low latency because of ordering reason among shards.
    The latency may go up to 20 seconds when for a single change event.

    It would be nice if application can receive Change Stream from the single shard only (not care about ordering among shards) to prevent latency.

    The idea is to pass "location" options when starting the Change Stream cursor.

  9. 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.

  10. updateMany limit

    When porting an application backend from an RDBMS to MongoDB, we've spoken to two people who've are looking for a way to specify a limit on the number of documents in .updateMany(). I understand the behavior cannot be defined on a sharded cluster, but if we had a way to do this on an unsharded collection, that would help when dealing with these teams.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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);
    }

  15. Aggregate $accumulator 'Combine' stage for sharded collections

    After the ‘accumulate’ stage has run against each document on a shard it would be extremely useful to run a script on the shard against the state to reduce the state down to something smaller before passing the final state over the network back to mongos for the ‘merge’. (Over in the Elastic camp they call this the ‘combine_script’).

    Scenario:
    I have a customer orders database sharded by the Customer ID (meaning all data relating to any specific customer is kept on the same shard - so customers don’t need to be ‘merged’ between shards). I can write an accumulator…

  16. 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??

  17. Option to prohibit a non-voting member from becoming a sync source of a voting member

    Hi,

    Our proposition in a few words: add a replica set option to allow chained replication but with the following exception: a non-voting member cannot become a sync source of a voting member under any circumstance.

    This proposition would allow chained replication for clusters having both w=majority writes and analytics nodes.

    Right now, those clusters cannot safely enable chained replication, because under some circumstances, the non-voting analytics member may become the first secondary in a serial chain of replication. In that case, this node[*] slows down the replication process for all downstream secondaries. Higher replication lag translates to extremely slow…

  18. Bundle rest service together DB

    As per current industry practice, REST/Json became standard way to deal with the data between the FE application and Backend DB. So if REST the server/service is bundled with DB it would eliminate the need of a middleware tier in most cases.

    It means we can directly fetch data from a frontend application using REST/Json from mongoDB without requiring a thirdparty service.

  20. 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
