[09:17:12] <synthmeat> is there an option to hint mongo that an array is fixed size?

[11:04:00] <GothAlice> synthmeat: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update/slice/#up._S_slice ← note that this is a modifier to $push'ing a new value into an array. Arrays aren't actually fixed-size in any meaningful way.

[11:04:46] <synthmeat> GothAlice: yeah, i meant it as a performance hint maybe, i know about keeping it same size

[11:05:15] <GothAlice> That is not a thing.

[11:05:38] <synthmeat> i can accept that :)

[13:16:24] <sfs> hello

[13:16:40] <sfs> i want to build mongodb on ppc64 (big-endian)

[13:16:49] <sfs> is that not supported nowadays?

[13:17:33] <sfs> i can see only ppc64le in SConstruct, but i'm not sure whether just changing to ppc64 is enough or there are some endianness issues

[13:18:14] <GothAlice> sfs: It’s a network service. There are endian issues.

[13:20:05] <GothAlice> Also data portability issues, given MongoDB’s extensive use of memory mapped files. E.g. data files need to be portable between architectures.

[14:11:51] <synthmeat> how do i specify read concern as majority on a (node.js) .find()?

[14:19:56] <synthmeat> (nvm. ignore.)

[14:38:09] <s10g> Does mongodb have default env vars it can consult for connection info, like postgres' PGUSER, PGHOST etc?

[14:54:27] <synthmeat> would be a news to me if it did

[15:44:46] <GothAlice> s10g: The command-line tools have a few defaults. ‘man mongo’ (or the other tools such as mongodump) and they should be documented.

[15:45:23] <GothAlice> E.g. defaulting to localhost. (mongo xyzzy <- attach to that db on localhost, default port)

[16:53:39] <sfs> GothAlice: it looks like sparc and s390x (which are both big-endian) are supported

[18:03:47] <synthmeat> so, i have no clue how to use readConcern and writeConcern majority with node.js driver

[18:04:33] <synthmeat> readconcern https://gist.github.com/synthmeat/e3448f64b01af118170c30c9ee1c5c98

[18:05:04] <synthmeat> writeconcern https://gist.github.com/synthmeat/38c79686b15edde98f0f7a9ef872d66c

[18:05:06] <synthmeat> is that legit?

[19:34:27] <synthmeat> basically, i'm getting stale reads on another service :/
