12 mongoc_uri_t provides an abstraction on top of the MongoDB connection
13 URI format. It provides standardized parsing as well as convenience
14 methods for extracting useful information such as replica hosts or
15 authorization information.
16 See Connection String URI Reference on the MongoDB website for more
18 information.

28 1. "mongodb" is the specifier of the MongoDB protocol. Use "mon‐
30 godb+srv" with a single service name in place of "host1" to specify
31 the initial list of servers with an SRV record.
32 2. An optional username and password.
34 3. The only required part of the uri. This specifies either a host‐
36 name, IPv4 address, IPv6 address enclosed in "[" and "]", or UNIX
37 domain socket.
38 4. An optional port number. Defaults to :27017.
40 5. Extra optional hosts and ports. You would specify multiple hosts,
42 for example, for connections to replica sets.
43 6. The name of the database to authenticate if the connection string
45 includes authentication credentials. If /database is not specified
46 and the connection string includes credentials, defaults to the
47 'admin' database.
48 7. Connection specific options.
50 NOTE:
52 Option names are case-insensitive. Do not repeat the same option
53 (e.g. "mongodb://localhost/db?opt=value1&OPT=value2") since this may
54 have unexpected results.
55 The MongoDB C Driver exposes constants for each supported connection
57 option. These constants make it easier to discover connection options,
58 but their string values can be used as well.
59 For example, the following calls are equal.
61 uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?" MONGOC_URI_APPNAME "=applicationName");
63 uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?appname=applicationName");
64 uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?appName=applicationName");
65
67 To describe a connection to a replica set named 'test' with the follow‐
68 ing mongod hosts:
69 · db1.example.com on port 27017
71 · db2.example.com on port 2500
73 You would use a connection string that resembles the following.
75 mongodb://db1.example.com,db2.example.com:2500/?replicaSet=test
77
79 If you have configured an SRV record with a name like "_mon‐
80 godb._tcp.server.example.com" whose records are a list of one or more
81 MongoDB server hostnames, use a connection string like this:
82 uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb+srv://server.example.com/?replicaSet=rs&appName=applicationName");
84 The driver prefixes the service name with "_mongodb._tcp.", then per‐
86 forms a DNS SRV query to resolve the service name to one or more host‐
87 names. If this query succeeds, the driver performs a DNS TXT query on
88 the service name (without the "_mongodb._tcp" prefix) for additional
89 URI options configured as TXT records.
90 On Unix, the MongoDB C Driver relies on libresolv to look up SRV and
92 TXT records. If libresolv is unavailable, then using a "mongodb+srv"
93 URI will cause an error. If your libresolv lacks res_nsearch then the
94 driver will fall back to res_search, which is not thread-safe.
95
97 If connecting to a hostname that has both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS records,
98 the behavior follows RFC-6555. A connection to the IPv6 address is
99 attempted first. If IPv6 fails, then a connection is attempted to the
100 IPv4 address. If the connection attempt to IPv6 does not complete
101 within 250ms, then IPv4 is tried in parallel. Whichever succeeds con‐
102 nection first cancels the other. The successful DNS result is cached
103 for 10 minutes.
104 As a consequence, attempts to connect to a mongod only listening on
106 IPv4 may be delayed if there are both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) DNS
107 records associated with the host.
108 To avoid a delay, configure hostnames to match the MongoDB configura‐
110 tion. That is, only create an A record if the mongod is only listening
111 on IPv4.

358 Clients in a mongoc_client_pool_t share a topology scanner that runs on
359 a background thread. The thread wakes every heartbeatFrequencyMS
360 (default 10 seconds) to scan all MongoDB servers in parallel. Whenever
361 an application operation requires a server that is not known--for exam‐
362 ple, if there is no known primary and your application attempts an
363 insert--the thread rescans all servers every half-second. In this situ‐
364 ation the pooled client waits up to serverSelectionTimeoutMS (default
365 30 seconds) for the thread to find a server suitable for the operation,
366 then returns an error with domain MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER_SELECTION.
367 Technically, the total time an operation may wait while a pooled client
369 scans the topology is controlled both by serverSelectionTimeoutMS and
370 connectTimeoutMS. The longest wait occurs if the last scan begins just
371 at the end of the selection timeout, and a slow or down server requires
372 the full connection timeout before the client gives up.
373 A non-pooled client is single-threaded. Every heartbeatFrequencyMS, it
375 blocks the next application operation while it does a parallel scan.
376 This scan takes as long as needed to check the slowest server: roughly
377 connectTimeoutMS. Therefore the default heartbeatFrequencyMS for sin‐
378 gle-threaded clients is greater than for pooled clients: 60 seconds.
379 By default, single-threaded (non-pooled) clients scan only once when an
381 operation requires a server that is not known. If you attempt an insert
382 and there is no known primary, the client checks all servers once try‐
383 ing to find it, then succeeds or returns an error with domain MON‐
384 GOC_ERROR_SERVER_SELECTION. But if you set serverSelectionTryOnce to
385 "false", the single-threaded client loops, checking all servers every
386 half-second, until serverSelectionTimeoutMS.
387 The total time an operation may wait for a single-threaded client to
389 scan the topology is determined by connectTimeoutMS in the try-once
390 case, or serverSelectionTimeoutMS and connectTimeoutMS if serverSelec‐
391 tionTryOnce is set "false".

787 When connected to a replica set, the driver chooses which member to
788 query using the read preference:
789 1. Choose members whose type matches "readPreference".
791 2. From these, if there are any tags sets configured, choose members
793 matching the first tag set. If there are none, fall back to the next
794 tag set and so on, until some members are chosen or the tag sets are
795 exhausted.
796 3. From the chosen servers, distribute queries randomly among the
798 server with the fastest round-trip times. These include the server
799 with the fastest time and any whose round-trip time is no more than
800 "localThresholdMS" slower.
