Patent number: 11893042Abstract: A method is provided for resharding a sharded database sharded according to a first shard key. The method includes: receiving, by a processor an instruction to reshard the sharded database; receiving, at the processor, a new shard key to be used in a resharding process to reshard the sharded database; determining, by the processor, whether a duration of unavailability of the sharded database during the resharding process is less than a predetermined amount of time; and automatically performing, by the processor, the resharding process according to the new shard key to produce a resharded database, if the duration of unavailability is less than the predetermined amount of time. The method may be performed without users noticing a significant interruption to read/write operations from/to the database.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Mark Porter, Max Jacob Hirschhorn, Daniel William Gottlieb, Garaudy Etienne, Andrew Michalski Schwerin, Judah Schvimer, Siyuan Zhou, Kaloian Manassiev, Esha Maharishi

Patent number: 11768885Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a database system for performing multi-document transactions. The database system comprises a database comprising a plurality of data storage nodes. The database system receives transactions that access at least two documents stored in the database. The database system generates a transaction identifier associated with the transaction and associates operations in the transaction with the transaction identifier. The database system performs at least part of the transaction on the database and determines whether an error occurred in performing in performing the transaction. When the database system determines that an error occurred in performing the transaction, the database system reverses any performed operations of the transaction. When no error occurs in performing the transaction, the database system outputs a confirmation.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Eliot Horowitz, Andrew Michalski Schwerin

Publication number: 20230020330Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosure, there is provided a scalable cloud distributed database system for hosting data of multiple database tenants. In some embodiments, the database may be serverless. The serverless database may be configured to automatically and dynamically match resources to workload demands for tenants of the database. Databases described herein may include replica sets hosting multiple tenants. Tenants may be migrated from one replica set to another replica set based on usage. Usage of tenants may be throttled during migration between replica sets. Tenants with lower usage may be selected for migration between replica sets. During migration, files containing both a document and a history of updates to the document may be migrated. Databases described herein may include multiple storage tiers having different read and/or write speeds.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Michalski Schwerin, Therese Avitabile, Mark Porter, Tomer Yakir, Gregory Banks, Louisa Berger, Jack Wearden, Judah Schvimer, Matthew Russotto, Michael Cahill, Esha Maharishi, Siyuan Zhou, Eric Andrew Milkie, A.

Patent number: 10496669Abstract: According to one aspect, a distributed database system is configured to manage write operations received from database clients and execute the write operations at primary nodes. The system then replicates received operations across a plurality of secondary nodes. Write operation can include safe write requests such that the database guaranties the operation against data loss once acknowledged. In some embodiments, the system incorporates an enhanced arbiter role the enables the arbiter to participate in cluster-wide commitment of data. In other embodiments, the enhanced arbiter role enables secondary nodes to evaluate arbiter operations logs when determining election criteria for new primary nodes.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Dwight Merriman, Eliot Horowitz, Andrew Michalski Schwerin, Therese Avitabile
