Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (3.2 version): supported features and syntax

APPLIES TO: MongoDB

Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft's globally distributed multi-model database service. You can communicate with the Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB using any of the open-source MongoDB client drivers. The Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB enables the use of existing client drivers by adhering to the MongoDB wire protocol.

By using the Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB, you can enjoy the benefits of the MongoDB you're used to, with all of the enterprise capabilities that Azure Cosmos DB provides: global distribution, automatic sharding, availability and latency guarantees, automatic indexing of every field, encryption at rest, backups, and much more.

Note

Version 3.2 of the Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB has no current plans for end-of-life (EOL). The minimum notice for a future EOL is three years.

Protocol Support

All new accounts for Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB are compatible with MongoDB server version 3.6. This article covers MongoDB version 3.2. The supported operators and any limitations or exceptions are listed below. Any client driver that understands these protocols should be able to connect to Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB.

Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB also offers a seamless upgrade experience for qualifying accounts. Learn more on the MongoDB version upgrade guide.

Query language support

Operators

Following operators are supported with corresponding examples of their use. Consider this sample document used in the queries below:

{
  "Volcano Name": "Rainier",
  "Country": "United States",
  "Region": "US-Washington",
  "Location": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [
      -121.758,
      46.87
    ]
  },
  "Elevation": 4392,
  "Type": "Stratovolcano",
  "Status": "Dendrochronology",
  "Last Known Eruption": "Last known eruption from 1800-1899, inclusive"
}
Operator Example
eq { "Volcano Name": { $eq: "Rainier" } }
gt { "Elevation": { $gt: 4000 } }
gte { "Elevation": { $gte: 4392 } }
lt { "Elevation": { $lt: 5000 } }
lte { "Elevation": { $lte: 5000 } }
ne { "Elevation": { $ne: 1 } }
in { "Volcano Name": { $in: ["St. Helens", "Rainier", "Glacier Peak"] } }
nin { "Volcano Name": { $nin: ["Lassen Peak", "Hood", "Baker"] } }
or { $or: [ { Elevation: { $lt: 4000 } }, { "Volcano Name": "Rainier" } ] }
and { $and: [ { Elevation: { $gt: 4000 } }, { "Volcano Name": "Rainier" } ] }
not { "Elevation": { $not: { $gt: 5000 } } }
nor { $nor: [ { "Elevation": { $lt: 4000 } }, { "Volcano Name": "Baker" } ] }
exists { "Status": { $exists: true } }
type { "Status": { $type: "string" } }
mod { "Elevation": { $mod: [ 4, 0 ] } }
regex { "Volcano Name": { $regex: "^Rain"} }

Notes

In $regex queries, Left-anchored expressions allow index search. However, using 'i' modifier (case-insensitivity) and 'm' modifier (multiline) causes the collection scan in all expressions. When there's a need to include '$' or '|', it's best to create two (or more) regex queries. For example, given the following original query: find({x:{$regex: /^abc$/}), it has to be modified as follows: find({x:{$regex: /^abc/, x:{$regex:/^abc$/}}). The first part will use the index to restrict the search to those documents beginning with ^abc and the second part will match the exact entries. The bar operator '|' acts as an "or" function - the query find({x:{$regex: /^abc|^def/}) matches the documents in which field 'x' has values that begin with "abc" or "def". To utilize the index, it's recommended to break the query into two different queries joined by the $or operator: find( {$or : [{x: $regex: /^abc/}, {$regex: /^def/}] }).

$centerSphere { "Location.coordinates": { $geoWithin: { $centerSphere: [ [ -121, 46 ], 5 ] } } } Yes
$box { "Location.coordinates": { $geoWithin: { $box: [ [ 0, 0 ], [ -122, 47 ] ] } } } Yes
$polygon { "Location.coordinates": { $near: { $geometry: { type: "Polygon", coordinates: [ [ [ -121.9, 46.7 ], [ -121.5, 46.7 ], [ -121.5, 46.9 ], [ -121.9, 46.9 ], [ -121.9, 46.7 ] ] ] } } } } Yes

Sort Operations

When you use the findOneAndUpdate operation, sort operations on a single field are supported, but sort operations on multiple fields aren't supported.

Other operators

Operator Example Notes
$all { "Location.coordinates": { $all: [-121.758, 46.87] } }
$elemMatch { "Location.coordinates": { $elemMatch: { $lt: 0 } } }
$size { "Location.coordinates": { $size: 2 } }
$comment { "Location.coordinates": { $elemMatch: { $lt: 0 } }, $comment: "Negative values"}
$text Not supported. Use $regex instead.

Unsupported operators

The $where and the $eval operators aren't supported by Azure Cosmos DB.

Methods

Following methods are supported:

Cursor methods

Method Example Notes
cursor.sort() cursor.sort({ "Elevation": -1 }) Documents without sort key don't get returned

Unique indexes

Azure Cosmos DB indexes every field in documents that are written to the database by default. Unique indexes ensure that a specific field doesn't have duplicate values across all documents in a collection, similar to the way uniqueness is preserved on the default _id key. You can create custom indexes in Azure Cosmos DB by using the createIndex command, including the 'unique' constraint.

Unique indexes are available for all Azure Cosmos DB accounts using Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB.

Time-to-live (TTL)

Azure Cosmos DB only supports a time-to-live (TTL) at the collection level (_ts) in version 3.2. Upgrade to versions 3.6+ to take advantage of other forms of TTL.

User and role management

Azure Cosmos DB doesn't yet support users and roles. However, Azure Cosmos DB supports Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) and read-write and read-only passwords/keys that can be obtained through the Azure portal (Connection String page).

Replication

Azure Cosmos DB supports automatic, native replication at the lowest layers. This logic is extended out to achieve low-latency, global replication as well. Azure Cosmos DB doesn't support manual replication commands.

Write Concern

Some applications rely on a Write Concern that specifies the number of responses required during a write operation. Due to how Azure Cosmos DB handles replication in the background all writes are automatically Quorum by default. Any write concern specified by the client code is ignored. Learn more in Using consistency levels to maximize availability and performance.

Sharding

Azure Cosmos DB supports automatic, server-side sharding. It manages shard creation, placement, and balancing automatically. Azure Cosmos DB doesn't support manual sharding commands, which means you don't have to invoke commands such as shardCollection, addShard, balancerStart, moveChunk etc. You only need to specify the shard key while creating the containers or querying the data.
