    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?

  2. Validation for referential integrity

    Currently, with the JSON Schema validation, we are able to limit the values for a field using enumerations. However, we need to have a way to limit the values to those entered in another collection.

  3. 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,…

  4. 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…

  5. Ability to view and track collection wise transactions (read,write,success,failures)

    We have multiple microservices using the same collection and we'd like to track how many calls come from each, and also understand which transactions are successful or not.
    Ultimately this will allow us to understand the MDB usage by each of the microservices.
    [setting verbose logging level to 1 and then using these logs to create a dashboard in Splunk doesn't give us enough granularity]

  6. 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

  7. Find all geoJSON points within a large collection of polygons. Reference collection in geoWithin.

    I would like to be able to find all geoJSON points located within a collection of polygons. My personal goal is to find points located within earth's water bodies. The water bodies are located in their own collection while the geoJSON points are located in a separate collection within the same DB. Mongo's geoWithin function only lets me hard code the polygons, but I would like to reference a collection of polygons.

    See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63162823/mongo-geowithin-error-polygon-coordinates-must-be-an-array

  9. 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

  10. 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."

  11. Automatic Indexes

    MongoDB can already suggest useful indexes. Why not take the next step and allow MongoDB to autonomously create and manage indexes. Ideally it will automatically maintain the indexes over time as the structure and usage of the database changes.

  12. More verbose information about compact failures in logs

    Recently we had a compact operation fail, and the mongod logs stated this was due to "eviction pressure" on the server. We have learned that this is a failsafe mechanism built into the compact command, but we would like to have a more verbose explanation of this failure mode in the logs to better understand why it failed and steps to remediate the issue.

  13. Add Event Stream Features (Apache Kafka, NATS Streaming)

    I thought it would be great if mongodb can support an event streaming(event bus) feature.
    Existing popular event streaming services(AWS Kinesis, NATS Streaming, Apache Kafka) can persist data which is somewhat like a database.

    Its great for debugging, data logging for later uses such as machine learning. Since I can see the full flow of the data and its changes.

    But there are two downside with most even streaming services.
    1. Its very difficult to query the data.
    2. "Eventual Consistency" issue when dealing programmatic errors(bugs). Most event streams have this nice feature, which keeps sending the same event to…

  14. 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.

  16. MongoDB emulator

    From a user - A MongoDB in-memory emulator would help development against MongoDB in a completely isolated way. They deploy self contained applications for developers that don't have any external connections other than MongoDB. The customer found a community project, fongo, that does this, but it is not supported and trails development by a few versions. https://github.com/fakemongo/fongo. I would be happy to connect the users with relevant project managers

  18. Performance problem with compound index using doubles, with range filtering

    It looks like there may be a problem when using doubles in a compound index and using range-test filters against all of them in a query.
    The problem we see from the explain plans is that far more keys are being examined that there should be and this leads to poor performance.
    If we switch to using a similar setup but with integers instead, we don’t see the problem.

    See the second part of this ticket for full details

    https://support.mongodb.com/case/00659614

    We have a document that looks like this –

    {
    "id" : ObjectId("5e2ab24eca314f10b486d827"),
    "attributes" : [
    {
    "attributeCode" :

  19. Too many keys in 2dsphere index when used on geoJson within arrays

    Mongo support have asked me to raise this bug as an improvement idea because they see it as an edge case.
    The issue is here and includes more details:

    https://support.mongodb.com/case/00659614

    In summary, if you have a geoJson sub document that sits within an array, and you index it using the 2dspehere index, you get keys duplicated for every element in the array.

    For example, if you have geoJson that represents a big 4,500 vertex polygon, and you put it within an array element, if the array has only one element I see 20 keys generated, which is good. But if…
