Execute an aggregation framework pipeline against the collection, needs MongoDB >= 2.2
An array of aggregation pipelines to execute
Optional settings for the command
Perform a bulkWrite operation without a fluent API
Legal operation types are
insertOnereplaceOneupdateOneupdateManydeleteOnedeleteManyPlease note that raw operations are no longer accepted as of driver version 4.0.
If documents passed in do not contain the _id field, one will be added to each of the documents missing it by the driver, mutating the document. This behavior can be overridden by setting the forceServerObjectId flag.
Bulk operations to perform
An estimated count of matching documents in the db to a filter.
NOTE: This method has been deprecated, since it does not provide an accurate count of the documents in a collection. To obtain an accurate count of documents in the collection, use {@link Collection#countDocuments| countDocuments}. To obtain an estimated count of all documents in the collection, use {@link Collection#estimatedDocumentCount| estimatedDocumentCount}.
Gets the number of documents matching the filter. For a fast count of the total documents in a collection see {@link Collection#estimatedDocumentCount| estimatedDocumentCount}. Note: When migrating from {@link Collection#count| count} to {@link Collection#countDocuments| countDocuments} the following query operators must be replaced:
| Operator | Replacement |
|---|---|
$where |
$expr |
$near |
$geoWithin with $center |
$nearSphere |
$geoWithin with $centerSphere |
Creates an index on the db and collection collection.
The field name or index specification to create an index for
Creates multiple indexes in the collection, this method is only supported for MongoDB 2.6 or higher. Earlier version of MongoDB will throw a command not supported error.
Note: Unlike {@link Collection#createIndex| createIndex}, this function takes in raw index specifications. Index specifications are defined here.
An array of index specifications to be created
Delete multiple documents from a collection

The distinct command returns a list of distinct values for the given key across a collection.
Field of the document to find distinct values for
Drop the collection from the database, removing it permanently. New accesses will create a new collection.
Drops an index from this collection.
Name of the index to drop.
Drops all indexes from this collection.
Gets an estimate of the count of documents in a collection using collection metadata. This will always run a count command on all server versions.
due to an oversight in versions 5.0.0-5.0.8 of MongoDB, the count command, which estimatedDocumentCount uses in its implementation, was not included in v1 of the Stable API, and so users of the Stable API with estimatedDocumentCount are recommended to upgrade their server version to 5.0.9+ or set apiStrict: false to avoid encountering errors.
Creates a cursor for a filter that can be used to iterate over results from MongoDB
Fetches the first document that matches the filter
Find a document and delete it in one atomic operation. Requires a write lock for the duration of the operation.

Retrieves this collections index info.
Retrieve all the indexes on the collection.
Initiate an In order bulk write operation. Operations will be serially executed in the order they are added, creating a new operation for each switch in types.
Initiate an Out of order batch write operation. All operations will be buffered into insert/update/remove commands executed out of order.
Inserts a single document or a an array of documents into MongoDB. If documents passed in do not contain the _id field, one will be added to each of the documents missing it by the driver, mutating the document. This behavior can be overridden by setting the forceServerObjectId flag.
