rs.reconfigForPSASet( memberIndex, config, { options } )
New in version 5.0.
Safely perform some reconfiguration changes on a primary-secondary-arbiter (PSA) replica set or on a replica set that is changing to a PSA architecture. You should only use this method in one of the following cases:
You want to reconfigure a secondary in an existing three-member replica set with a PSA architecture to become a voting, data-bearing node with a non-zero
priority
.You want to add a new voting, data-bearing node with a non-zero priority to an existing two-member replica set that contains one voting, data-bearing node and one arbiter.
Warning
If the secondary you are adding is lagged and the resulting replica set is a PSA configuration, the first configuration change will change the number of nodes that need to commit a change with
"majority"
. In this case, your commit point will lag until the secondary has caught up.For details about the behavior of this method, see Behavior.
Syntax![](/docs/v5.2/assets/link.svg)
The rs.reconfigForPSASet()
method has the following syntax:
rs.reconfigForPSASet( memberIndex: <num>, config: <configuration>, { "force" : <boolean>, "maxTimeMS" : <int> } )
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
memberIndex | integer | The index of the secondary that is being added or modified. |
config | document | A document that
specifies the new configuration of a replica set. |
force | boolean | Optional WarningRunning the Specify Force reconfiguration can result in unexpected or undesired
behavior, including rollback of
|
maxTimeMS | integer | Optional Specifies a cumulative time limit in milliseconds
for processing each reconfiguration during the
|
Behavior![](/docs/v5.2/assets/link.svg)
The rs.reconfigForPSASet()
method reconfigures your replica
set in two steps:
The method reconfigures your replica set to add or modify a secondary with
{ votes: 1, priority: 0 }
.Once the added or modified secondary has caught up with all committed writes, the method reconfigures the secondary to have the
priority
specified in thers.reconfigForPSASet()
command ({ votes: 1, priority: <num> }
).
The two-step approach avoids the possibility of rolling back committed writes in the case of a failover to the new secondary before the new secondary has all committed writes from the previous configuration.
Example![](/docs/v5.2/assets/link.svg)
A replica set named rs0
has the following configuration:
{ "_id" : "rs0", "version" : 1, "term": 1, "members" : [ { "_id" : 0, "host" : "mongodb0.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : false, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 1, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 }, { "_id" : 2, "host" : "mongodb2.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : true, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 0, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 } ], "protocolVersion" : Long("1"), "writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault": true, "settings" : { "chainingAllowed" : true, "heartbeatIntervalMillis" : 2000, "heartbeatTimeoutSecs" : 10, "electionTimeoutMillis" : 10000, "catchUpTimeoutMillis" : 2000, "getLastErrorModes" : {}, "getLastErrorDefaults" : { "w" : 1, "wtimeout" : 0 }, "replicaSetId" : ObjectId("60e6f83923193faa336889d2") } }
The following sequence of operations add a new secondary to the replica
set. The operations are issued in the mongosh
shell while
connected to the primary.
cfg = rs.conf(); cfg["members"] = [ { "_id" : 0, "host" : "mongodb0.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : false, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 1, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 }, { "_id" : 1, "host" : "mongodb2.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : false, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 2, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 }, { "_id" : 2, "host" : "mongodb2.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : true, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 0, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 } ] rs.reconfigForPSASet(1, cfg);
The first statement uses the
rs.conf()
method to retrieve a document containing the current configuration for the replica set and stores the document in the local variablecfg
.The second statement adds the new secondary to the
members
array. In this configuration the new secondary is added atmemberIndex
1
. ThememberIndex
is the same as the array index. For additional settings, see replica set configuration settings.The last statement calls the
rs.reconfigForPSASet()
method with thememberIndex
1
and the modifiedcfg
. ThememberIndex
is the array position of the new member in themembers
array. Upon successful reconfiguration, the replica set configuration resembles the following:{ "_id" : "rs0", "version" : 1, "term": 1, "members" : [ { "_id" : 0, "host" : "mongodb0.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : false, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 1, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 }, { "_id" : 1, "host" : "mongodb2.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : false, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 2, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 }, { "_id" : 2, "host" : "mongodb2.example.net:27017", "arbiterOnly" : true, "buildIndexes" : true, "hidden" : false, "priority" : 0, "tags" : {}, "secondaryDelaySecs" : Long("0"), "votes" : 1 } ], "protocolVersion" : Long("1"), "writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault": true, "settings" : { "chainingAllowed" : true, "heartbeatIntervalMillis" : 2000, "heartbeatTimeoutSecs" : 10, "electionTimeoutMillis" : 10000, "catchUpTimeoutMillis" : 2000, "getLastErrorModes" : {}, "getLastErrorDefaults" : { "w" : 1, "wtimeout" : 0 }, "replicaSetId" : ObjectId("60e6f83923193faa336889d2") } }
