Class WriteConcern

java.lang.Object
com.mongodb.WriteConcern
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
@Immutable public class WriteConcern extends Object implements Serializable

Controls the acknowledgment of write operations with various options.

w

  • 0: Don't wait for acknowledgement from the server
  • 1: Wait for acknowledgement, but don't wait for secondaries to replicate
  • >=2: Wait for one or more secondaries to also acknowledge
  • "majority": Wait for a majority of data bearing nodes to acknowledge
  • "<tag set name>": Wait for one or more secondaries to also acknowledge based on a tag set name

wtimeout - how long to wait for secondaries to acknowledge before failing

  • 0: indefinite
  • >0: time to wait in milliseconds

Other options:

  • journal: If true block until write operations have been committed to the journal. Cannot be used in combination with fsync. Write operations will fail with an exception if this option is used when the server is running without journaling.
