Hi Luca, thanks for the speedy response! What I mean is the ability to fetch an entire cluster, by fetching multiple sections of it concurrently. This is the decription in mongodb:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/parallelCollectionScan/ "Allows applications to use multiple parallel cursors when reading
all the documents from a collection, thereby increasing throughput."..."Each cursor provides access to the return of a partial set of documents
from a collection. Iterating each cursor returns every document in the
collection. Cursors do not contain the results of the database command". I am looking to do something similar, and way I was going to do it was get the element count in a cluster and have threads each execute a querying with an RID range.If rids are not recycled, that will not work well. Is there a quick way of getting the last RID in a cluster?
