$lookup
and $graphLookup
with Sharded Collections
Starting in MongoDB 5.1,
the $lookup
and $graphLookup
aggregation stages
support sharded collections in the from
parameter.
In previous versions of MongoDB, $lookup
and $graphLookup
only allowed for unsharded from
collections.
You cannot use the $graphLookup
stage within a transaction while
targeting a sharded collection.
Change Streams
Optimized Change Streams
Starting in MongoDB 5.1, change streams are optimized, providing more efficient resource utilization and faster execution of some aggregation pipeline stages.
wallTime
Change Stream Output Field
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, the change stream output has a new wallTime
field that contains the
server date and time of the database operation.
Change Streams with Document Pre- and Post-Images
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use change streams to output the version of a document before and after changes (the document pre- and post-images). For examples, see Change Streams with Document Pre- and Post-Images.
Change Stream Expanded Events
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, change streams can show additional change events for DDL operations, like creating indexes and dropping collections.
For more information, see Expanded Events.
Filters
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, whenever possible, match filters are applied to change streams earlier than in prior releases. This improves performance. However, when a filter is narrowly defined, an earlier match may cause an operation that succeeds in prior versions to fail in 6.0.
Cluster Administration
Cluster Server Parameters
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use Cluster Parameters for a Self-Managed Deployment to modify
and retrieve configuration options for all nodes in a replica set or sharded
cluster. You can use setClusterParameter
to modify cluster-wide
options and getClusterParameter
to retrieve the value of a cluster
parameter.
Connection Pool Parameters
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use
ShardingTaskExecutorPoolMinSizeForConfigServers
and
ShardingTaskExecutorPoolMaxSizeForConfigServers
to set the
minimum and maximum sharding TaskExecutor connection pool size for
configuration servers.
changeStreamOptions
Cluster Parameter
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use changeStreamOptions
to control
the retention policy of change stream pre- and post-images.
internalSessionsReapThreshold
Parameter
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use the new
internalSessionsReapThreshold
parameter to set the session
limit for internal session metadata deletion.
Multiple Arbiters Unsupported
Starting in MongoDB 5.3, support for multiple arbiters in a replica set is
disabled by default. To enable support for multiple arbiters, start each
node with the allowMultipleArbiters
parameter.
Clustered Collections
Starting in MongoDB 5.3, you can create clustered collections.
Clustered collections store indexed documents in the same WiredTiger file as the index specification. Storing the collection's documents and index in the same file provides benefits for storage and performance compared to regular indexes.
Clustered collections are created with a clustered index. The clustered index specifies the order in which documents are stored.
To create a clustered collection, see Examples.
To learn about the benefits compared to a normal collection, see Clustered Collections.
Indexes
Starting in MongoDB 5.1, you can use the collMod
database
command to add the expireAfterSeconds
option to an existing
single-field non-TTL index.
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use the prepareUnique
and
unique
options for the collMod
command to convert an
existing standard index to a unique index.
Partial Indexes
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use the operators $in
and $or
to create partial indexes. The partialFilterExpression
maximum depth is also expanded from 2 to 4. You can now use the operators $and
and $or
at non-top-levels.
Installation
SELinux Policies
Starting in MongoDB 5.1, there is a new SE Linux Policy for:
MongoDB Enterprise Server
MongoDB Community Edition Server
running on Red Hat Linux. The SELinux policy is for use with default
installations using rpm
installer packages.
Replica Sets
Multiple Arbiters Unsupported
Starting in MongoDB 5.3, support for multiple arbiters in a replica set is
disabled by default. To enable support for multiple arbiters, start each
node with the allowMultipleArbiters
parameter.
initialSyncMethod
Parameter
Starting in MongoDB 5.2, the initialSyncMethod
determines
whether initial sync is a
logical initial sync or a
file copy based initial sync.
initialSyncMethod
is only available in MongoDB Enterprise
Server.
Specify Secondary Oplog Batch Delay
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can use the
oplogBatchDelayMillis
server parameter to specify a delay
for writes of oplog batches on secondaries. Adding a short oplog batch
delay can reduce IOPS on
secondaries, but adds latency for writes with write concern
"majority"
.
For more information, see oplogBatchDelayMillis
.
Security
Audit Log Encryption
Starting in MongoDB 6.0 Enterprise, you can encrypt the MongoDB audit log.
To configure the audit log, see Audit Log.
Sharding
Balancing Policy Changes
Starting in MongoDB 6.0.3, data in sharded clusters is distributed based on data size rather than number of chunks. Be aware of the following significant changes in sharded cluster data distribution behavior:
The balancer distributes ranges of data rather than chunks. The balancing policy looks for evenness of data distribution rather than chunk distribution.
Chunks are not subject to auto-splitting. Instead, chunks are split only when moved across shards.
A chunk is now referred to as a range.
moveRange
has replacedmoveChunk
.
Default Chunk Size Increased from 64 MB to 128 MB
Starting in MongoDB 5.2, the default chunk size is 128 megabytes. In earlier versions of MongoDB, the default chunk size is 64 megabytes.
enableSharding
No Longer Required
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, the enableSharding
command is
no longer required to shard a collection.
Monitor Defragmentation Status
Starting in MongoDB 5.3, the balancerCollectionStatus
command returns detailed information when run on a namespace going
through chunk defragmentation. The output includes the current phase of
the defragmentation and how many chunks are left to process.
To see example output, see Ongoing Defragmentation Process.
Slot-Based Query Execution Engine
Starting in MongoDB 5.1, MongoDB uses a new query execution engine for eligible queries, called the slot-based query execution engine. If the slot-based query execution engine is used, new fields are included in the query explain plan output.
The new query execution engine is used if possible.
If the new query execution engine is used, new fields are included in the query explain plan output.
Slot-Based Query Execution Engine Can Execute $group
and $lookup
Stages
Starting in version 6.0, MongoDB uses the slot-based query execution engine to execute eligible
$group
and $lookup
stages when certain
conditions are met.
For more information, see Slot-Based Query Execution Engine Pipeline Optimizations.
Set Slot-Based Query Execution Engine Plan Cache Size
You can set the size of the plan cache for the new query engine with the
planCacheSize
parameter.
Increasing the plan cache size adds more cached plan cache query shapes for the query planner. This can improve query performance, but increases memory usage.

MongoDB 5.1 provides support for sharded time series collections.
See:
Sharded Time Series Granularity
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can modify the granularity of sharded time series collections.
Updates and Deletes
Starting in MongoDB 5.1, time series collections support update and delete operations with limitations.
Time Series Column Compression
Starting in MongoDB 5.2, time series collections use column compression. Column compression adds a number of innovations that work together to significantly improve practical compression, reduce your data's overall storage on disk, and improve read performance.
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, arrays are also compressed as part of the time series column compression.
Support for $geoNear
Starting in MongoDB 5.3, you can use the $geoNear
pipeline
operator on any field in a time series collection.
Additional Secondary Index Types
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can perform the following operations on time series collections:
Add additional secondary index types to time series collections, including 2dsphere and 2d indexes.
Add a compound index on the
timeField
,metaField
, or measurement fields.Use the
$or
,$in
, and$geoWithin
operators with partial indexes on a time series collection.Add a partial filter expression on the
metaField
.Use the
metaField
with 2dsphere indexes.
Sort Operations Use Secondary Indexes
Sort operations on time series collections can use indexes to improve performance. For more information and an example, see Use Secondary Indexes to Improve Sort Performance.
General Improvements
OpenSSL3 FIPS Support
Starting in MongoDB 6.0.7, FIPS mode supports OpenSSL3 for the following operating systems:
Ubuntu 22.04
RHEL 9
Amazon Linux 2023
Starting in MongoDB 8.0, FIPS mode supports OpenSSL3 for Amazon Linux 2023.3.
Capped Collections Improvements
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, you can change a
capped collection's maximum size, either in
bytes or in number of documents, using the collMod
command. See
Resize a Capped Collection for more details.
numOrphanDocs
Field Added to collStats Command
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, the collStats output
includes the collStats.numOrphanDocs
field that shows the number of
orphaned documents in the collection.
Exclude Embedded Fields in serverStatus
Output
Starting in MongoDB 6.0 (and 5.0.9), you can exclude embedded fields
from the serverStatus
output.
Connections
Starting in MongoDB 6.0, the Mongo()
connection object has the following new methods:
Mongo.getWriteConcern()
returns the write concernMongo.setWriteConcern()
sets the write concern
Support for Diagnostic Backtrace Generation in arm64
Starting in MongoDB 6.0 (and 5.0.10), diagnostic backtrace
generation in arm64
is supported.
Configure Refresh Interval for Cached LDAP User Information
Starting in MongoDB 5.2, you can use the following new server parameters to configure the refresh interval for cached LDAP user information:
Starting in MongoDB 5.2, the update interval for cached user information
retrieved from an LDAP server depends on
ldapShouldRefreshUserCacheEntries
:
If true, use
ldapUserCacheRefreshInterval
.If false, use
ldapUserCacheInvalidationInterval
.
Support for $group
Stage in Explain Results
Starting in MongoDB 5.2, the Explain Results support the
$group
stage (GROUP
), which separates documents into
groups according to a group key, in the
stage
field.
Changes Affecting Compatibility
Some changes can affect compatibility and may require user actions. For a detailed list of compatibility changes, see Compatibility Changes in MongoDB 6.0.
Upgrade Procedures
Important
Feature Compatibility Version
To upgrade to MongoDB 6.0 from a 5.0 deployment, the 5.0 deployment
must have featureCompatibilityVersion
set to 5.0
. To check
the version:
db.adminCommand( { getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1 } )
To upgrade to MongoDB 6.0, refer to the upgrade instructions specific to your MongoDB deployment:
If you need guidance on upgrading to 6.0, MongoDB professional services offer major version upgrade support to help ensure a smooth transition without interruption to your MongoDB application. To learn more, see MongoDB Consulting.
Downgrade Consideration
MongoDB only supports single-version downgrades. You cannot downgrade to a release that is multiple versions behind your current release.
