Can I disable the partitioned option?

Hi all,

I have a mongoDB cluster with the partitioned option to true for a database. This DB doesn’t have any shard key. Is it safe to rollback the partitioned option?

I read partitioned option without shard key could be affected performance.

Thanks.

how do you see the option? What cmd did you run?

Hi @Kobe_W ,

I have this information from this command :

sh.status()

  {
    database: {
      _id: 'my_db',
      primary: 'rs0',
      partitioned: true, <======================================
      version: {
        uuid: UUID('ef1ad0b8-ac7f-8276-89ae-c478b84fe0a8'),
        lastMod: 1,
        timestamp: Timestamp({ t: 1700574117, i: 161 })
      }
    },
    collections: {}
  },

I have a similar output for the config database but with chunks (because a sharKey exists).

it says the db now supports sharding, doesn’t mean any collections in it must be sharded.

So it doesn’t affect the performance to stay with this configuration?

no performance impact. A database has no concept of sharding, while only a collection does.
