Docs for SERVER-34851: Disallow index selection for identical min & max values on find

    • Type: Icon: Task Task
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Icon: Major - P3 Major - P3
    • 4.0.0-rc0, 3.2.21, 3.6.6, 3.4.16
    • Affects Version/s: None
    • Component/s: None
    • Labels:
      None

      Description:

      Prior to this patch a query could be run with $min and $max values that were identical. As $min is inclusive and $max is exclusive, this would always result in an empty range. May be worth documenting that $max must always be greater than $min.

      Scope of changes:

      • meta/min
      • meta/max
      • cursor/min
      • cursor max
      • 4.0-compatibility

      (for backports – just do pull request for releases not out yet)

      Engineering Ticket Description:

      As the max value is an exclusive bound, setting min and max to the same value will match nothing, even when an index exists that supports the key provided.
