sh.disableAutoMerger(namespace)

New in version 7.0.

Disables automatic chunk merges for a namespace.

sh.disableAutoMerger() is a mongosh helper method. It is effectively the same as running the configureCollectionBalancing command with the enableAutoMerger field set to false.

For the database command, see the configureCollectionBalancing command.

For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific MongoDB driver documentation.
