Chapter 1 Overview

What is MongoDB

MongoDB is an open source document-based database management system that stores data in BSON (Binary JSON) format. It uses a flexible document model instead of the traditional table model, which can easily store and query semi-structured data. The design goal of MongoDB is easy expansion and high performance, suitable for scenarios that need to process large amounts of data and high concurrent requests.

Features and Benefits of MongoDB

• Flexible data model : MongoDB does not need to define the table structure in advance, can store various types of data, and supports two data association methods: embedded documents and references.
• Powerful query language : MongoDB provides rich query operators and aggregation pipeline functions to support complex query and analysis requirements.
• High-performance data reading and writing : MongoDB uses technologies such as memory-mapped files and pre-allocated space to optimize data reading and writing performance, and supports fast insert, update and query operations.
• Scalable storage and computing capacity : MongoDB supports horizontal expansion and automatic sharding, which can easily increase servers and process large-scale data.
• Rich tools and ecosystem : MongoDB provides command-line tools and GUI management tools, as well as numerous third-party libraries and framework support.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration

Download and install MongoDB

First, we need to download the installation package suitable for our operating system from the MongoDB official website. Then follow the installation wizard to install, the process is relatively simple. After the installation is complete, we need to add the MongoDB executable file path to the system environment variable so that we can run MongoDB commands from any location.

Configure the MongoDB server

After the installation is complete, we need to do some basic configuration to ensure the normal operation of the MongoDB server. It mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Data storage path : Specify the storage path of the database file. It is recommended to select a free disk partition with sufficient storage space.
2. Listening address and port : Specify the network address and port that the MongoDB server listens to. The default is 127.0.0.1:27017, which can be adjusted according to actual needs.
3. Authentication settings : MongoDB supports identity authentication for client connections, and users can be created and assigned permissions to ensure data security.
4. Log configuration : You can specify the path and level of the log file to track the running status and troubleshooting of the server.
5. Other configuration items : There are some other configuration items, such as advanced configurations such as replica sets and shards, which can be set as needed.

Chapter 3 Data Model

document-oriented data model

MongoDB uses a document-oriented data model to store data. A document is a collection of key-value pairs, similar to a row in a relational database, but more flexible. Documents can contain embedded documents, arrays, and other complex types, and fields can be freely added, modified, and removed as needed.

Collections and Databases

Data in MongoDB is organized in collections, which are similar to tables in relational databases. A collection can contain multiple documents, and each document can have a different structure and fields. There is no direct relationship between collections and can be freely created and managed according to actual needs.

A MongoDB server can contain multiple databases, and each database stores data independently. Databases are logical containers that organize related collections together. Each database has a unique name on the server and needs to be created before it can be used.

index

Indexes play a role in speeding up queries in MongoDB. Through indexing, you can quickly locate documents that meet specific conditions and improve query efficiency. MongoDB supports various types of indexes, including single-key indexes, compound indexes, full-text indexes, etc.

Embedded documentation and references

MongoDB supports two data association methods: embedded documents and references. An embedded document is to embed one document into another document to form a nested structure of documents. Reference is to achieve data association by storing the association relationship between documents. Select the appropriate data association method according to actual needs.

Chapter 4 Query Language

CRUD operations

In MongoDB, CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) are very simple and intuitive. The following are some commonly used CRUD operation commands and examples:

• To create a document: db.collection.insertOne(),db.collection.insertMany()
• Read the document: db.collection.find(),db.collection.findOne()
• Update docs: db.collection.updateOne(),db.collection.updateMany()
• delete document: db.collection.deleteOne(),db.collection.deleteMany()

query and filter

MongoDB provides a wealth of query operators that can be used to specify query conditions and filter results. Commonly used query operators include comparison operators ( $eq、$ ne、$gt,$ lt, etc.), logical operators ($andd,$ or ,$not,\; etc.)\; and\; regular\; expression\; operators\; ($ regex), etc.

Sort and limit

In the query results, we can sort()sort the documents through the method to sort according to the specified fields and sorting methods. At the same time, query results can be restricted and paginated using limit()and methods.skip()

aggregation pipeline

The aggregation pipeline is a powerful data processing tool provided by MongoDB, which is used to perform complex processing operations such as grouping, filtering, and sorting data. It consists of multiple stages, each stage can process the input document and pass the result to the next stage.

Chapter 5 Index Optimization

The role and principle of the index

Indexing is an important means to improve query performance in MongoDB. It creates an index data structure on the specified field to improve the search efficiency during query. MongoDB implements indexes using data structures such as B-trees and hashes, and supports multiple types of indexes.

Index creation and management

In MongoDB, createIndex()indexes can be created using methods. You can specify a single field or a combination of multiple fields as the index key. When creating an index, you can also specify some options, such as uniqueness, sparseness, and expiration time.

Index selection and optimization

Index selection and optimization is an important part of improving query performance. According to the characteristics of the query and the distribution of the data, select the appropriate field and index type. At the same time, you can also optimize the index according to actual needs, such as rebuilding the index, deleting redundant indexes, etc.

Chapter 6 Data Replication and Fault Recovery

The Concept and Configuration of Replica Sets

MongoDB provides data redundancy and fault recovery capabilities through replica sets. A replica set is a cluster of multiple MongoDB instances, one of which is the master node and the others are slave nodes. The master node is responsible for handling all write operations, and the slave node is responsible for replicating the data of the master node and can receive read requests.

Master-slave replication and failover

In the replication set, after the master node fails, the slave nodes will automatically elect a new master node. Master-slave replication can improve system availability and fault tolerance, and can also be used for horizontal expansion and read-write separation.

Data Recovery and Backup

MongoDB provides a variety of data recovery and backup methods to deal with various unexpected situations. You can use built-in tools (such as mongodump and mongorestore) for backup and recovery, or use third-party tools and services for continuous data protection and disaster recovery.

Chapter 7 Performance Tuning

Query performance optimization

In MongoDB, querying is one of the most common database operations. In order to improve query performance, you can optimize by creating appropriate indexes, optimizing query statements, and using projection operators. In addition, queries can be analyzed and tuned to eliminate potential performance bottlenecks.

Index performance optimization

Indexes are the key to improving query performance. In order to optimize the performance of the index, you can select appropriate fields and index types, configure index options reasonably, rebuild indexes regularly, and avoid redundant indexes.

Data Model Design and Performance

The design of the data model has a great influence on the performance of the system. Through reasonable data structures and association methods, data redundancy and complexity can be reduced, and query efficiency and data access speed can be improved.

Chapter 8 Security

Access Control and Authentication

To protect the security of the MongoDB server, access control and identity authentication mechanisms can be configured. Users and roles can be created and access permissions set to control user access to the database.

Data encryption and transmission security

MongoDB supports data encryption and transmission security functions. TLS/SSL protocol can be used to encrypt data transmission to prevent data from being stolen and tampered with.

Security Auditing and Logging

In order to monitor and audit the operation of MongoDB, you can enable the security audit log. The security audit log records the user's login, query, update and other operations, so as to track and analyze the security events of the system.

Chapter 9 Best Practices and Case Studies

Application of MongoDB in actual projects

MongoDB is widely used in various industries and scenarios. For example, e-commerce websites can use MongoDB to store product information and user data; IoT platforms can use MongoDB to store sensor data and device status; social media applications can use MongoDB to store user relationships and messages, etc.

Best Practices and Lessons Learned

By summarizing the experience and lessons learned in actual projects, some best practices and optimization suggestions can be drawn. For example, choose the appropriate hardware configuration and deployment plan, plan the data model and indexing strategy, regularly maintain and monitor database performance, etc.
