NAME

6       mongoc_client_watch - mongoc_client_watch()
7

SYNOPSIS

9          mongoc_change_stream_t*
10          mongoc_client_watch (mongoc_client_t *client,
11                               const bson_t *pipeline,
12                               const bson_t *opts);
13
14       A  helper  function  to create a change stream. It is preferred to call
15       this function over using a raw aggregation to create a change stream.
16
17       This function uses the read preference and read concern of the  client.
18       If  the  change  stream needs to re-establish connection, the same read
19       preference will be used. This may happen if the change  stream  encoun‐
20       ters a resumable error.
21
22       WARNING:
23          A change stream is only supported with majority read concern.
24
25       This  function  is considered a retryable read operation.  Upon a tran‐
26       sient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.)
27       the  operation  is  safely retried once.  If retryreads is false in the
28       URI (see mongoc_uri_t) the retry behavior does not apply.

PARAMETERS

31       • db: A mongoc_client_t specifying the client which the  change  stream
32         listens to.
33
34       • pipeline:  A  bson_t representing an aggregation pipeline appended to
35         the change stream. This may be an empty document.
36
37       • opts: A bson_t containing change stream options.
38
39       opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:
40
41       • batchSize: An int32 representing number of documents requested to  be
42         returned on each call to mongoc_change_stream_next
43
44       • resumeAfter:  A  Document  representing the logical starting point of
45         the change stream. The result of  mongoc_change_stream_get_resume_to‐
46         ken()  or  the _id field  of any change received from a change stream
47         can be used here. This option is mutually exclusive  with  startAfter
48         and startAtOperationTime.
49
50       • startAfter: A Document representing the logical starting point of the
51         change stream. Unlike resumeAfter, this can resume notifications  af‐
52         ter an "invalidate" event. The result of mongoc_change_stream_get_re‐
53         sume_token() or the _id field  of any change received from  a  change
54         stream  can be used here.  This option is mutually exclusive with re‐
55         sumeAfter and startAtOperationTime.
56
57       • startAtOperationTime: A Timestamp. The change  stream  only  provides
58         changes  that  occurred at or after the specified timestamp. Any com‐
59         mand run against the server will return an operation time that can be
60         used  here.  This  option  is mutually exclusive with resumeAfter and
61         startAfter.
62
63       • maxAwaitTimeMS: An int64 representing the maximum amount  of  time  a
64         call to mongoc_change_stream_next will block waiting for data
65
66       • fullDocument:  A  UTF-8  string. Set this option to "updateLookup" to
67         direct the change stream cursor to lookup  the  most  current  major‐
68         ity-committed  version of the document associated to an update change
69         stream event.
70

RETURNS

72       A newly allocated mongoc_change_stream_t which must be freed with  mon‐
73       goc_change_stream_destroy  when  no  longer  in  use. The returned mon‐
74       goc_change_stream_t is never NULL. If there is an error, it can be  re‐
75       trieved  with mongoc_change_stream_error_document, and subsequent calls
76       to mongoc_change_stream_next will return false.
