  1. Add X509 as a Authentication Method

    The current authentication methods lack in their ability to control password complexity requirements (SCRAM-SHA-*) or require exposing on-premise LDAP servers to the public internet. The addition of X509 is worthwhile given that MongoDB Atlas already supports X509 as a user authentication mechanism.

  2. Provide an alternative sampling technique for views in MongoBI Connector

    As stated in the docs (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sample/#behavior), the $sample stage will perform a full COLLSCAN if some criteria won't be met. The problem is that no view (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/views/) will ever meet these, as the $sample won't be the first aggregation stage.

    My proposal is to implement additional, $skip+$limit based sampling.

  3. Re-sample only part of the MongoBI Connector schema

    It'd be great if we could run "FLUSH SAMPLE collectionName". It's rarely the case that a lot of collections have changed at once and such a "light re-sample" might be a good alternative.

  4. Implement error handling in MongoBI Connector

    Right now, if the $sample query (used to create the DRDL schema) fails, it'll re-run the query once again, forever. The only place when the error is accessible is in the "Profiler" tab of a given node. In our case - and I believe it's common - that it was a secondary node, which "Profiler" is far less accessible than the one for the primary node.

    We learned it the hard way, as our cluster was silently maxing out one CPU core for over a week. After a lot of debugging, it turned out that one of our views has…

  5. BI Connector username and password in yaml file

    Currently BI Connector has username and password in clear. this presents problem in terms of security. BI connector has to have a way to encrypt the password and then we store the encrypted password which BI connector can decrypt and use it. it can be any standard encrypt decrypt algorithm but the secret key can be generated by the person using this.

  6. Make BI Connector for Atlas pricing clear upfront

    From this page https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/bi-connection/ it appears that the BI Connector for Atlas is available if I have an M10 or larger cluster. I upgraded to an M10 cluster to get the BI connector only to discover that if I enable the BI connector, it charges me additional costs. I could not find these additional BI connector prices detailed anywhere on your website except for in my account after I upgraded to the M10 cluster. And even these pricing details are not clear:

    BI Connector
    $1.47/day for sustained monthly usage
    pricing for M10
    or $3.84/day, up to $45.00/month maximum

  7. Support Prepared Statements in BI Connector

    The Power Query Editor in Microsoft leverages a prepared statement for query/filtering.

    Error message:
    This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet

    This is a feature request to support prepared statements in the mongosqld BI Connector service.

  8. Bi connector - store schema information

    We have the BI connector installed/configured via OPS manager on one of our deployments.
    When we have to restart the node, the BI connector takes a long time to start as it has to rebuild the schema.
    Hence we would like to file an enhancement request to be able to store the schema information and then retrieve it again after a restart.

  11. Get schema validation "feedback" in Kafka Mongo Sink Connector

    Objective :

    We want to be able to validate that data matches some requirements. We would like to to perform this data validation by adding a JSON schema in Mongo (such as it is described here : https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/schema-validation/).

    Problem is that current implementation of the current Mongo DB Kafka Sink connector does not implement the required elements to benefit from features brought by this KIP : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-610%3A+Error+Reporting+in+Sink+Connectors

    So if we define such a validation on Mongo, if a message has a value that does not match the definition, it would not go in the dead letter queue, and the…
