10
11 Create a session for a sequence of operations.
12
13 Start a session with mongoc_client_start_session(), use the session for
14 a sequence of operations and multi-document transactions, then free it
15 with mongoc_client_session_destroy(). Any mongoc_cursor_t or
16 mongoc_change_stream_t using a session must be destroyed before the
17 session, and a session must be destroyed before the mongoc_client_t it
18 came from.
19
20 By default, sessions are causally consistent. To disable causal consis‐
21 tency, before starting a session create a mongoc_session_opt_t with
22 mongoc_session_opts_new() and call
23 mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_consistency(), then free the struct with
24 mongoc_session_opts_destroy().
25
26 Unacknowledged writes are prohibited with sessions.
27
28 A mongoc_client_session_t must be used by only one thread at a time.
29 Due to session pooling, mongoc_client_start_session() may return a ses‐
30 sion that has been idle for some time and is about to be closed after
31 its idle timeout. Use the session within one minute of acquiring it to
32 refresh the session and avoid a timeout.
33
35 • client: A mongoc_client_t.
36
37 • opts: An optional mongoc_session_opt_t.
38
39 • error: A bson_error_t.
40
42 If successful, this function returns a newly allocated
43 mongoc_client_session_t that should be freed with
44 mongoc_client_session_destroy() when no longer in use. On error, re‐
45 turns NULL and sets error.
46
48 This function can fail if the driver is not built with crypto support,
49 if opts is misconfigured, or if the session is configured with options
50 that the server does not support.
