Configure a Delayed Replica Set Member

On this page本页内容

To configure a delayed secondary member, set its members[n].priority value to 0, its members[n].hidden value to true, and its members[n].slaveDelay value to the number of seconds to delay.

Important

The length of the secondary members[n].slaveDelay must fit within the window of the oplog. If the oplog is shorter than the members[n].slaveDelay window, the delayed member cannot successfully replicate operations.

When you configure a delayed member, the delay applies both to replication and to the member’s oplog. For details on delayed members and their uses, see Delayed Replica Set Members.

Example示例

The following example sets a 1-hour delay on a secondary member currently at the index 0 in the members array. To set the delay, issue the following sequence of operations in a mongo shell connected to the primary:

cfg = rs.conf()
cfg.members[0].priority = 0
cfg.members[0].hidden = true
cfg.members[0].slaveDelay = 3600
rs.reconfig(cfg)

After the replica set reconfigures, the delayed secondary member cannot become primary and is hidden from applications. The members[n].slaveDelay value delays both replication and the member’s oplog by 3600 seconds (1 hour).

When updating the replica configuration object, access the replica set members in the members array with the array index. The array index begins with 0. Do not confuse this index value with the value of the members[n]._id field in each document in the members array.

Warning

  • The rs.reconfig() shell method can force the current primary to step down, which causes an election. When the primary steps down, the mongod closes all client connections. While this typically takes 10-20 seconds, try to make these changes during scheduled maintenance periods.
  • Avoid reconfiguring replica sets that contain members of different MongoDB versions as validation rules may differ across MongoDB versions.
