13
14 Create a session for a sequence of operations.
15
16 Start a session with mongoc_client_start_session, use the session for a
17 sequence of operations and multi-document transactions, then free it
18 with mongoc_client_session_destroy(). Any mongoc_cursor_t or mon‐
19 goc_change_stream_t using a session must be destroyed before the ses‐
20 sion, and a session must be destroyed before the mongoc_client_t it
21 came from.
22
23 By default, sessions are causally consistent. To disable causal consis‐
24 tency, before starting a session create a mongoc_session_opt_t with
25 mongoc_session_opts_new() and call mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_con‐
26 sistency(), then free the struct with mongoc_session_opts_destroy.
27
28 Unacknowledged writes are prohibited with sessions.
29
30 A mongoc_client_session_t must be used by only one thread at a time.
31 Due to session pooling, mongoc_client_start_session may return a ses‐
32 sion that has been idle for some time and is about to be closed after
33 its idle timeout. Use the session within one minute of acquiring it to
34 refresh the session and avoid a timeout.
35
37 • client: A mongoc_client_t.
38
39 • opts: An optional mongoc_session_opt_t.
40
41 • error: A bson_error_t.
42
44 If successful, this function returns a newly allocated mon‐
45 goc_client_session_t that should be freed with mongoc_client_ses‐
46 sion_destroy() when no longer in use. On error, returns NULL and sets
47 error.
48
50 This function can fail if the driver is not built with crypto support,
51 if opts is misconfigured, or if the session is configured with options
52 that the server does not support.
