[19:39:31] <octav1a> would it theoretically be possible to use gridfs to store multiple large files with almost the same content, and only update the chunks where there is a difference?
[21:18:45] <macwinner> i feel like this channel is a lot less active over the last couple years.. have people moved on to a different platform for chatting about mongodb? like slack?
[21:27:17] <mutante> i hope it's not slack but one of the thirty free software alternatives :/
[21:27:23] <mutante> but i also wonder where they went
[22:08:29] <GothAlice> macwinner: MongoDB Inc. abandoned the channel a few years ago.
[22:09:06] <GothAlice> Apparently there was only really one or a small number of MongoDB Inc. employees advocating for its existence. After they left for greener pastures at some point, so too did any form of official blessing for this channel.
[23:25:40] <macwinner> I have a sharded cluster with a single shard (3-node replica set). If I connect directly to the primary of the replica set, and create a new DB with some collections, I am not able to see those collections when I connect via mongos
[23:26:07] <macwinner> is that expected behavior? Is there something I need to do to make mongos see the new collections in the new db? I tried restarting mongos, but doesn't seem to fix it
