How Can I Prevent a Slow Operation From Delaying Other Operations?
302
302
------------------------------------------------------------------
303
303
304
- A slow operation may delay your other operations that occur after it, if
305
- the ``maxPoolSize`` has not been set in the
306
- :ref:`connection options <node-connection-options>`.
307
- MongoDB is synchronous and uses a single execution thread per socket,
308
- meaning that MongoDB will execute one single operation per socket at any
309
- point in time. Any other operation sent to that socket will have to wait
310
- until the current operation is finished. If you have a slow-running
311
- operation that holds up other operations, the best solution is to create
312
- a separate connection pool for the slow operation, isolating it from
313
- other, faster operations.
314
-
315
- .. note::
316
- If the number of operations is greater than the value of the
317
- ``maxPoolSize`` option and a slow operation occurs, subsequent
318
- operations will be delayed.
319
-
320
- To create a separate connection pool, instantiate another ``MongoClient``
321
- call the ``connect()`` method on it. See the following example for the
322
- syntax you can use to create two clients, each with its own connection
323
- pool:
324
-
325
- .. code-block:: javascript
326
-
327
- const clientA = new MongoClient(uri, options);
328
- clientA.connect(); // any method calls on clientA use clientA's connection pool
329
-
330
- const clientB = new MongoClient(uri, options);
331
- clientB.connect(); // any method calls on clientB use clientB's connection pool
304
+ To control the maximum size of a connection pool, you can set the
305
+ ``maxPoolSize`` option in the :ref:`connection options
306
+ <node-connection-options>`. The default value of ``maxPoolSize`` is
307
+ ``100``. If the number of in-use connections to a server reaches
308
+ ``maxPoolSize``, the next request to that server will wait
309
+ until a connection becomes available. To prevent long-running operations
310
+ from slowing down your application, you can increase ``maxPoolSize``.
311
+
312
+ The driver does not limit the number of requests that can wait for
313
+ sockets to become available. Requests wait for the amount of time
314
+ specified in the ``waitQueueTimeoutMS`` option, which
315
+ defaults to ``0`` (no limit). You should set this option if it is
316
+ more important to stop long-running operations than it is to complete
317
+ every operation.

322
