I have documents that look like below
let object = [
{
id: 4,
parents:
[
1, 2,
],
children: 2
},
{
id: 5,
parents:
[
1, 2,
],
children: 1
},
{
id: 8,
parents:
[
1, 2, 4
],
children: 0
},
{
id: 9,
parents:
[
1, 2, 4
],
children: 0
},
{
id: 10,
parents:
[
1,2,5
],
children:0
}
]
I would like to use findAndModify
in order to update the children value. It has to be findAndModify
because I will be working in an multithreaded environment so selection and update must happen in single transaction.
The conditions that I am looking for is when '2' is included in the parents
array and children
value is less than 2 where the children
value is highest and parents count is lowest among the sufficing documents. Then I would like to increment the value of children of the first matching document.
The query that I have come up with right now is below
let query =
{
parents:
{
$elemMatch:2
},
children:
{
$lt: 2
}
};
which suffices first few conditionals but unfortunately I don't know how I can select out
{
id: 5,
parents:
[
1, 2,
],
children: 1
},
out of
{
id: 8,
parents:
[
1, 2, 4
],
children: 0
},
{
id: 9,
parents:
[
1, 2, 4
],
children: 0
},
{
id: 10,
parents:
[
1,2,5
],
children:0
}
which is what is currently selected with my query. Again, it has to be a single transaction so writing out another set of query is not possible.
As to why it has to be single transaction, refer to this post How to limit maximum reference of the parental node in mongodb
