特点
- 像队列，插入的效率很高，size大小固定（还可以指定max限制文档个数），自动按照插入的顺序返回文档
- 不能从capped集合中删除文档，只能整个集合一块删除
- 不能sharding
使用
When creating a capped collection you must specify the maximum size of the collection in bytes, which MongoDB will pre-allocate for the collection. The size of the capped collection includes a small amount of space for internal overhead.
db.createCollection( "log", { capped: true, size: 100000 } )
注意：
If the size field is less than or equal to 4096, then the collection will have a cap of 4096 bytes. Otherwise, MongoDB will raise the provided size to make it an integer multiple of 256.
指定文档个数
db.createCollection("log", { capped : true, size : 5242880, max : 5000 } )
使用natural操作符
可以让返回顺序变为插入的逆序
db.cappedCollection.find().sort( { $natural: -1 } )
Check if a Collection is Capped
db.collection.isCapped()
Convert a Collection to Capped
db.runCommand({"convertToCapped": "mycoll", size: 100000});
Automatically Remove Data After a Specified Period of Time
consider MongoDB’s TTL indexes,
