Without indexes, MongoDB will perform a collection scan, i.e., it will read all the documents to find if they match the condition specified in the query and cause low response time. Indexes help in navigating directly to […]]]> https://www.percona.com/blog/stages-of-index-build-in-mongodb/feed/ 0 95329 https://www.percona.com/blog/replace-a-live-mongo-node-with-a-new-node/ https://www.percona.com/blog/replace-a-live-mongo-node-with-a-new-node/#respond Thu, 28 Sep 2023 12:25:30 +0000 https://www.percona.com/blog/?p=87518 In this blog post, we will discuss replacing a Mongo node. Consider a scenario when a node is going to be decommissioned for some reason or if a node’s data partition is almost full and not extendable. To avoid the disk getting full or decommissioned, we need to replace that node with a new node.Note: […]]]> https://www.percona.com/blog/replace-a-live-mongo-node-with-a-new-node/feed/ 0 87518 https://www.percona.com/blog/commitquorum-in-index-creation-from-percona-server-for-mongodb-4-4/ https://www.percona.com/blog/commitquorum-in-index-creation-from-percona-server-for-mongodb-4-4/#respond Thu, 29 Jun 2023 12:02:26 +0000 https://www.percona.com/blog/?p=89098 Before Percona Server for MongoDB 4.4 (PSMDB), the best practice to create an index was doing it in a rolling manner. Many folks used to create directly on Primary, resulting in the first index being created successfully on Primary and then replicated to Secondary nodes.Starting from PSMDB 4.4, there was a new parameter commitQuorum introduced […]]]> https://www.percona.com/blog/commitquorum-in-index-creation-from-percona-server-for-mongodb-4-4/feed/ 0 89098 https://www.percona.com/blog/capped-collection-in-mongodb/ https://www.percona.com/blog/capped-collection-in-mongodb/#respond Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:34:43 +0000 https://www.percona.com/blog/?p=86032 In this blog post, we will discuss the capped collection of MongoDB. Capped collection is a fixed-type collection that inserts docs in a circular fashion. This means once allocated files are full, data at the beginning of the first file is overwritten.

A delayed member of the replica set is similar to like other members of the replica set but its data set mirrors the set delayed state of the data.
