      Issue Status as of April 15, 2014

      ISSUE SUMMARY
      The geoNear command does not check if the BSON size limit is reached when assembling the result array.

      USER IMPACT
      Results from geoNear that are larger than the BSON size (16MB) cause an exception and abort the command.

      WORKAROUNDS
      Query for a smaller result set, for example with a smaller maxDistance value.

      RESOLUTION
      The geoNear command now detects when it reaches the BSON size and will truncate the result set. A warning is logged that the command tried to return a larger result.

      AFFECTED VERSIONS
      Version 2.6.0 is affected by this bug.

      PATCHES
      The patch is included in the 2.6.1 production release.

      Original description

      The new aggregation framework on 2.6.0 returns a cursor, so its output should be unlimited.
      However if one performs an aggregation query with $geonear it looks like the output is still limited to 16MB.

      { type : "Point" , coordinates: [50,50] }

      , distanceField:"dist",spherical : true, maxDistance : (10000000), num:200000 }}])
