sh.addTagRange()¶

sh.addTagRange(namespace, minimum, maximum, tag)¶

New in version 2.2.

Parameters:

namespace (string) – Specifies the namespace, in the form of <database>.<collection> of the sharded collection that you would like to tag.
minimum (document) – Specifies the minimum value of the shard key range to include in the tag. Specify the minimum value in the form of <fieldname>:<value>. This value must be of the same BSON type or types as the shard key.
maximum (document) – Specifies the maximum value of the shard key range to include in the tag. Specify the maximum value in the form of <fieldname>:<value>. This value must be of the same BSON type or types as the shard key.
tag (string) – Specifies the name of the tag to attach the range specified by the minimum and maximum arguments to.

sh.addTagRange() attaches a range of values of the shard key to a shard tag created using the sh.addShardTag() method. Use this operation to ensure that the documents that exist within the specified range exist on shards that have a matching tag.

Always issue sh.addTagRange() when connected to a mongos instance.

Note

If you add a tag range to a collection using sh.addTagRange(), and then later drop the collection or its database, MongoDB does not remove tag association. If you later create a new collection with the same name, the old tag association will apply to the new collection.

Example

Given a shard key of {STATE:1,ZIP:1}, create a tag range covering ZIP codes in New York State:

copy

sh.addTagRange( "exampledb.collection",
        { STATE: "NY", ZIP: MinKey },
        { STATE:"NY", ZIP: MaxKey },
        "NY"
        )
