MongoDB $lookup: Limitations & Usage -


with new aggregation pipeline stage $lookup able perform 'left outer joins'.

at first glance, want replace 1 of our denormalised collections 2 separate collections , use $lookup join them upon querying. solve problem of having, when necessary, update huge number of documents. can update 1 document.

but surely true? nosql, document database after all!

mongodb's cto highlights concerns:

we’re still concerned $lookup can misused treat mongodb relational database. instead of limiting availability, we’re going developers know when use appropriate, , when it’s anti-pattern. in coming months, go beyond existing documentation provide clear, strong guidance in area.

what limitations of $lookup? can use them in real-time, operational querying of our data or should left reporting, offline situations?

i share same enthusiasm $lookup.

i think there trade-offs. 1 of major concerns of sql databases (and 1 of reasons genesis of nosql) @ large scale, joins can take lot of time (well, relatively speaking).

it helps in giving declarative model data, if start model entire nosql database though database of rows , tables (just using refs, example), begin modeling though it's sql database (to degree). mongodb mentioned (like put in question):

we’re still concerned $lookup can misused treat mongodb relational database.

you mentioned:

this solve problem of having, when necessary, update huge number of documents. can update 1 document.

i'm not sure collections exactly, sounds use $lookup.

can use them in real-time, operational querying

i say, again, depends on use-case. you'll have compare:

  • desired semantics of queries (declarative vs imperative)
  • whether modeling data more relational (and using $lookup) in circumstances worth potential trade-off in computational time (that's assuming querying across collections concerned about, computationally speaking)

etc...

i'm sure in coming months we'll see perf tests of "left outer joins" , perhaps mongodb start writing posts when $lookup antipattern.

hope answer helps add discussion.

caching - How to check if a url path exists in the service worker cache -

i need check if particular url path exists in service worker cache. example, suppose url is: /myserviceworker/service?a=110&b=70 this url exists in cache, there many of them different values of , b. now, suppose want refresh of these urls, how can that? i want know how access key values service worker cache. if know key, plan follows: var url = new url(key); if(url.pathname === "\/myserviceworker/service") refetch key but not sure how cache key , in format is. mean, string or url? cache api has match() method returns promise resolving in response object if match or undefined if no match exists. second parameter object can specify ignoresearch not take account url parameters. the ignoresearch option supported firefox ( chrome status here ). in other hand, retrieve cache entries, can use keys() method.
