  1. SnakeCaseElementNameConvention

    Please add support for snake case convention. Snake Case is super popular with API designs.

  2. csfle support for zOS

    Please modify your drivers so our java applications can encrypt and decrypt from the mainframe (zOS) UNIX environment. This missing feature is a road-block to our migration to Atlas.

    We have multiple Java applications that run on an IBM mainframe. Those applications read and write into MongoDB collections, like inserting Mainframe data into MongoDB collections. The mongo-crypt driver for CSFLE does not work on the Mainframe UNIX environment.

    Company policy states we have to encrypt all PHI/PII data prior to inserting the data into Atlas.

    I had opened a support ticket with MongoDB and the final reply was you do…

  4. Support "default" keyword in MongoDB's implementation of JSON Schema

    Without defaults, there is a need to iterate though each property just to check if a default value is needed (most probably this can be easily done on type check). Also without defaults we need to remember checking it both in inserts and updates (for example with $push operator)

  5. Add some casting addon or function based on MongoDB's implementation of JSON Schema

    Without casting addons, there is a need to iterate though each property just to check if this value needs some casting (most probably this can be easily done on type check). I´m having special troubles with Date type, as most of the time this type is send as an ISO string, but saved in the DB as a DATE

  6. Compressed Fields

    When large JSON structures are being stored but don't need to be queryable it may be more performant to handle the compression at the field-level as opposed to the network level (similar to what is described in https://medium.com/idealo-tech-blog/advanced-mongodb-performance-tuning-2ddcd01a27d2).

    This would isolate compression and decompression on the client side (unless network compression was used as well), however the compressed field would be persisted as-is (compressed) to the cluster.

  8. Dynamic Configuration Changes for Connections

    We would like to suggest a feature improvement where connection parameters can be dynamically changed so that no restart of client application infrastructure is needed.

    Currently, when changing connection configuration, this usually requires the restart of a considerable number of pods or containers with the unavoidable consequence of a sudden surge in connection attempts.

    Our request specifically would be to provide a way for drivers to read both connection string and connection parameters information from a source that can be easily managed and that's not necessarily embedded in the code, and

    Drivers should also detect when this configuration has changed…

  9. Provide a direct download for current versions of driver files/dependencies on the official MongoDB sites

    Note: This post was inspired by my attempts to find a direct download for the MongoDB Java driver, but I've left the category as "Unspecified" because it could apply to any driver download for which the official sites say to "Just use Maven/etc"

    Right now the documentation for the MongoDB Java driver (https://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/4.2/driver/getting-started/installation/) indicates that "The recommended way to get started using one of the drivers in your project is with a dependency management system." However, as far as I could tell from my own research, the official MongoDB sites have no official direct download link for the…

  11. Nearest read preference should take account of database load

    I understand it only take account of network latency however this node can have high load and would give a poor response. Instead, I wished the driver would contact the more distant network latency node that has less CPU/memory load.

  12. Estimated Filtered Count

    Hi,

    We are currently using a pattern where we use a find(query).limit(x) and a count(query) with $near to find x results and display the overall count. Using this pattern, we are able to pass the same query to find and count. However that count method was removed in SCALA-517 and replaced by estimatedDocumentCount and countDocuments. The problem is that countDocuments will not work with $near. There is a workaround to use $geowithin with $center/$centerSphere, however this doesn't return the results sorted as $near did. We would like to have the option to pass the same query to count as we…

  13. URI validation

    I was building the URI in a spring configuration file as
    spring.data.mongodb.uri=${MONGODB_URI}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority

    where MONGODB_URI came from a kubernetes secret (as it contains user & password)

    somehow a new-line had slipped into the kubernetes secret, so the query was effectively asking for "fpos-dev-pl-1.kqybg.mongodb.net\n"

    Besides learning how to correctly configure secrets, I learned in the process that neither Spring nor mongo was validating that spring.data.mongodb.uri was a well-formed URI and the application failed to start with error messages relating to not finding DNS and not being able to resolve the TXT record. This was very confusing.

    The driver should accept a URI…

  15. Support authentication credential rotation

    MongoDB drivers should provide support for rotating authentication credentials:

    • The customer may opt to rotate a specific credential (a password, client keytab, or a re-issued client certificate - when your private key will be the old one or a new one and the certificate will always be updated), or both the username and its credential
    • drivers must support authentication hooks/override methods to handle custom logic. For example: when an external vault processes the password change, it will have a delay before the SCRAM / PLAIN password gets changed in the MongoDB Server / LDAP server. The customer-provided code will take…

  16. BsonIgnoreIfEmpty - Property Attribute

    Like BsonIgnoreIfDefault and BsonIgnoreIfNull, we can add BsonIgnoreIfEmpty.
    It can be added on IEnumerables (which we basically know they cannot have infinite values since it is inserted to db after all..) and if the IEnumerable is empty, it wont serialize it to the db BUT will know to put default value (an empty list for example) in said property.

    They will decrease below boilerplate code for IEnumerable<T>:

    Serialization:
    Field = otherField?.count > 0 ? otherFIeld : null;

    Deserialization:
    otherField = Field ?? new List<T>;

    Obviously, we can improve this code to also support Dictionary<Tkey, Tvalue>.

  17. Add support for directly marshaling arrays and slices to Extended JSON

    The Extended JSON encoder does not support encoding arrays and slices by themselves. The decoder does support decoding JSON arrays into slices. Add support for encoding arrays and slices to a JSON array.

  18. Create MSI package to install .NET MongoDB driver

    I manage SQL Server. I would like to request standalone 32 and 64 bit MongoDB .Net Driver in MSI format. We typically do not install Development tools on SQL Server database hosts (no visual studio, no nuget.exe). So downloading the driver using package manager is challenging. If that is not possible, can you provide us how to download and install the driver using Powershell?

  19. Provide a mechanism for specifying default database name in connection string

    According to https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/GODRIVER-914 the connection string is only meant to specify the auth database. However, many of the official MongoDB drivers and tools also use the database specified in the connection string as the default if commands are run without specifying a database name.

    The Go driver should either mirror this behaviour found in other drivers, or a parameter should be added to the connection string to allow a default database to be explicitly defined.

  20. Expired Transactions failures should be reported more clearly in the driver error message

    Long-running transactions may trigger an aborted transaction, but the cause is not clearly communicated by the driver exception message.

    Failed: Command insert failed: Transaction 1 has been aborted..
    Unhandled exception. MongoDB.Driver.MongoCommandException: Command insert failed: Transaction 1 has been aborted..

    To reproduce, set a very low timeout:

    replicaset:PRIMARY> db.adminCommand( { setParameter: 1, transactionLifetimeLimitSeconds: 1 } )

    Then run a long running transaction from the C# driver.

    The cause can be confirmed by checking the MongoDB log for a [abortExpiredTransaction]:

    replicaset:PRIMARY> show log global

    2020-07-31T03:59:49.196+0000 I COMMAND [abortExpiredTransactions] Aborting transaction with txnNumber 1 on session xxxxxx because it has been running for…
