Sharding
I'm not sure if this is by design or not, but it leads to kind of weird behavior.
If I have 2 mongos processes and move a chunk on one, then try to move the chunk again from the other, the chunk info doesn't update before the second move attempt so it fails with unintuitive messages.
For example, on mongos #1, I do:
test> sh.moveChunk("test.not.hashed", {user_id:"user438"}, "test-rs2") { "millis" : 3441, "ok" : 1 }
On mongos #2, I then do:
config> // first, checking it was actually moved: config> db.chunks.find({min:{user_id:"user438"}}) { "_id" : "test.not.hashed-user_id_\"user438\"", "lastmod" : { "t" : 52000, "i" : 0 }, "lastmodEpoch" : ObjectId("510681b502471f5418db3e35"), "ns" : "test.not.hashed", "min" : { "user_id" : "user438" }, "max" : { "user_id" : "user441" }, "shard" : "test-rs2" } config> config> // yup, it's in the right place, but this mongos doesn't think so: config> sh.moveChunk('test.not.hashed', {user_id:'user438'}, 'test-rs1') { "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "that chunk is already on that shard" } config> config> // let's try another shard config> sh.moveChunk('test.not.hashed', {user_id:'user438'}, 'test-rs4') { "cause" : { "from" : "test-rs1", "official" : "test-rs2", "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "location is outdated (likely balance or migrate occurred)" }, "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "move failed" } config> config> // and now it finally works config> sh.moveChunk('test.not.hashed', {user_id:'user438'}, 'test-rs1') { "millis" : 3859, "ok" : 1 }
