General Changes
Database Validation on mongos Aggregation Queries
Starting in MongoDB 7.2, aggregation pipeline queries that attempt to use non-existent databases on mongos deployments return validation errors.
In previous versions, these aggregation queries return empty cursors.
serverStatus Metrics
Starting in MongoDB 7.2, the serverStatus command and the
db.serverStatus() method outputs include the following new metrics:
getField Field Supports All Strings
Starting in MongoDB 7.2, you can specify any valid expression that resolves to a string for the field
input of the $getField operator. In earlier versions,
field accepts only string constants.
Default Chunks Per Shard
Starting in MongoDB 7.2, when you shard an empty collection with a hashed shard key, the operation creates one chunk per shard by default. Previously, the operation created two chunks by default.
Resharding Improvements
MongoDB 7.2 introduces significant performance improvements in reshard collection operations, substantially reducing the amount of time the operation takes to run.
Additionally, if your application and cluster meet the necessary
requirements and limitations, you can reshard the collection on the same key using
the reshardCollection command to redistribute your collection,
which is much faster than alternative range migration procedure.
The following options are added to the command:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
forceRedistribution | Enables same-key resharding. |
For examples, see Redistribute Data to New Shards.
