find

3.2 新版功能.

Executes a query and returns the first batch of results and the cursor id, from which the client can construct a cursor.

The find command has the following form:

{
   "find": <string>,
   "filter": <document>,
   "sort": <document>,
   "projection": <document>,
   "hint": <document or string>,
   "skip": <int>,
   "limit": <int>,
   "batchSize": <int>,
   "singleBatch": <bool>,
   "comment": <string>,
   "maxScan": <int>,
   "maxTimeMS": <int>,
   "readConcern": <document>,
   "max": <document>,
   "min": <document>,
   "returnKey": <bool>,
   "showRecordId": <bool>,
   "snapshot": <bool>,
   "tailable": <bool>,
   "oplogReplay": <bool>,
   "noCursorTimeout": <bool>,
   "awaitData": <bool>,
   "allowPartialResults": <bool>,
   "collation": <document>
}

The command accepts the following fields:

Field Type Description
find string The name of the collection to query.
filter document Optional. The query predicate. If unspecified, then all documents in the collection will match the predicate.
sort document Optional. The sort specification for the ordering of the results.
projection document Optional. The projection specification to determine which fields to include in the returned documents. See 返回查询的映射字段 and Projection Operators.
hint string or document Optional. Index specification. Specify either the index name as a string or the index key pattern. If specified, then the query system will only consider plans using the hinted index.
skip Positive integer Optional. Number of documents to skip. Defaults to 0.
limit Non-negative integer Optional. The maximum number of documents to return. If unspecified, then defaults to no limit. A limit of 0 is equivalent to setting no limit.
batchSize non-negative integer

Optional. The number of documents to return in the first batch. Defaults to 101. A batchSize of 0 means that the cursor will be established, but no documents will be returned in the first batch.

Unlike the previous wire protocol version, a batchSize of 1 for the find command does not close the cursor.

singleBatch boolean Optional. Determines whether to close the cursor after the first batch. Defaults to false.
comment string Optional. A comment to attach to the query to help interpret and trace query profile data.
maxScan positive integer Optional. Maximum number of documents or index keys to scan when executing the query.
maxTimeMS positive integer

Optional. The cumulative time limit in milliseconds for processing operations on the cursor. MongoDB aborts the operation at the earliest following interrupt point.

Tip

When specifying linearizable read concern, always use maxTimeMS in case a majority of data bearing members are unavailable. maxTimeMS ensures that the operation does not block indefinitely and instead ensures that the operation returns an error if the read concern cannot be fulfilled.

readConcern document

Optional. Specifies the read concern. The option has the following syntax:

readConcern: { level: <value> }

Possible read concern values are:

For more formation on the read concern levels, see Read Concern Levels.

The getMore command uses the readConcern level specified in the originating find command.

max document Optional. The exclusive upper bound for a specific index. See cursor.max() for details.
min document Optional. The inclusive lower bound for a specific index. See cursor.min() for details.
returnKey boolean Optional. If true, returns only the index keys in the resulting documents. Default value is false. If returnKey is true and the find command does not use an index, the returned documents will be empty.
showRecordId boolean Optional. Determines whether to return the record identifier for each document. If true, adds a field $recordId to the returned documents.
snapshot boolean Optional. Prevents the cursor from returning a document more than once because of an intervening write operation.
tailable boolean Optional. Returns a tailable cursor for a capped collections.
awaitData boolean Optional. Use in conjunction with the tailable option to block a getMore command on the cursor temporarily if at the end of data rather than returning no data. After a timeout period, find returns as normal.
oplogReplay boolean

Optional. Internal use for replica sets. To use oplogReplay, you must include the following condition in the filter:

{ ts: { $gte: <timestamp> } }
noCursorTimeout boolean Optional. Prevents the server from timing out idle cursors after an inactivity period (10 minutes).
allowPartialResults boolean Optional. For queries against a sharded collection, returns partial results from the mongos if some shards are unavailable instead of throwing an error.
collation document

Optional.

Specifies the collation to use for the operation.

Collation allows users to specify language-specific rules for string comparison, such as rules for lettercase and accent marks.

The collation option has the following syntax:

collation: {
   locale: <string>,
   caseLevel: <boolean>,
   caseFirst: <string>,
   strength: <int>,
   numericOrdering: <boolean>,
   alternate: <string>,
   maxVariable: <string>,
   backwards: <boolean>
}

When specifying collation, the locale field is mandatory; all other collation fields are optional. For descriptions of the fields, see Collation Document.

If the collation is unspecified but the collection has a default collation (see db.createCollection()), the operation uses the collation specified for the collection.

If no collation is specified for the collection or for the operations, MongoDB uses the simple binary comparison used in prior versions for string comparisons.

Examples

Specify a Sort and Limit

The following command runs the find command filtering on the rating field and the cuisine field. The command includes a projection to only return the following fields in the matching documents: _id, name, rating, and address fields.

The command sorts the documents in the result set by the name field and limits the result set to 5 documents.

db.runCommand(
   {
     find: "restaurants",
     filter: { rating: { $gte: 9 }, cuisine: "italian" },
     projection: { name: 1, rating: 1, address: 1 },
     sort: { name: 1 },
     limit: 5
   }
)

Override Default Read Concern

To override the default read concern level of "local", use the readConcern option.

The following operation on a replica set specifies a read concern of "majority" to read the most recent copy of the data confirmed as having been written to a majority of the nodes.

To use read concern level of "majority",

db.runCommand(
   {
     find: "restaurants",
     filter: { rating: { $lt: 5 } },
     readConcern: { level: "majority" }
   }
)

Regardless of the read concern level, the most recent data on a node may not reflect the most recent version of the data in the system.

The getMore command uses the readConcern level specified in the originating find command.

A readConcern can be specified for the mongo shell method db.collection.find() using the cursor.readConcern method:

db.restaurants.find( { rating: { $lt: 5 } } ).readConcern("majority")

For more information on available read concerns, see Read Concern.

Specify Collation

3.4 新版功能.

Collation allows users to specify language-specific rules for string comparison, such as rules for lettercase and accent marks.

The following operation runs the find command with the collation specified:

db.runCommand(
   {
     find: "myColl",
     filter: { category: "cafe", status: "a" },
     sort: { category: 1 },
     collation: { locale: "fr", strength: 1 }
   }
)

The mongo shell provides the cursor.collation() to specify collation for a db.collection.find() operation.
