Summary
Drivers will automatically retry any read operation that has not yet received any results exactly once.
Motivation
Alleviate application developer pain
- Application developers want to design fault tolerant or highly available applications without having to implement retry logic in their application
- Application developers currently have to write boilerplate retry logic for reads (but not for writes).
- Much like for retryable writes, developers should not need to think about this type of retry logic.
- Furthermore, application developers transitioning from traditional, non-distributed architectures and topologies sometimes have a hard time reasoning about transitional MongoDB states due to single node faults or sharding/replication state.
- Automatically retrying reads will allow these developers to focus more on the business logic and less on the implementation details of MongoDB.
Alleviate Atlas team pain.
- The Atlas team should be able to perform unplanned maintenance without impacting end users or requiring developers to add logic to prevent these failures from being exposed to the user.
