MongoDB Bulk Write Operations

MongoDB Bulk Write Operations :

MongoDB Bulk Write Operations provide a way to execute multiple write operations efficiently as a single batch. This can significantly improve performance when you need to perform multiple inserts, updates, deletes, or mixed operations on your MongoDB collections.

Bulk Write Operations are executed using the bulkWrite() method in MongoDB's driver API.

 You can specify an array of write operations, each represented by an individual document.

 Each document contains a writeModel field that specifies the type of operation (insertOne, updateOne, updateMany, replaceOne, deleteOne, or deleteMany) and the associated data.

Here's a breakdown of the available write operations:

insertOne: Inserts a single document into the collection.

updateOne: Updates a single document that matches the specified filter with the provided update data.

updateMany: Updates multiple documents that match the specified filter with the provided update data.

replaceOne: Replaces a single document that matches the specified filter with the provided replacement document.

deleteOne: Deletes a single document that matches the specified filter.

deleteMany: Deletes multiple documents that match the specified filter.

Let's see an example that demonstrates how to use Bulk Write Operations to perform multiple insert and update operations:

  db.collection.bulkWrite([ 
 { insertOne: { document: { name: "John", age: 30 } } }, 
 { insertOne: { document: { name: "Mary", age: 25 } } },
 {
    updateOne: 
{
      filter: { name: "John" },
      update: { $set: { age: 35 } }
    }
  },
 {
    updateOne: {
filter: { name: "Mary" },
      update: { $set: { age: 28 } }
    } 
 } 
]);

In this example, we define an array operations that contains two insertOne operations and two updateOne operations.

The insertOne operations insert two documents into the collection,

and the updateOne operations update the age of the existing documents.

By calling bulkWrite() on the collection and passing the operations array,

all the operations are executed as a single batch, resulting in improved efficiency.

Bulk Write Operations provide atomicity and isolation guarantees, meaning that either all operations in the batch succeed, or none of them are applied. This ensures consistency in your data.

Using Bulk Write Operations can be highly beneficial when you need to perform multiple write operations together, reducing the number of round trips to the database and improving overall performance.
