How to Setup Git on Windows & Mac

Step 1: Add your PC/Mac ssh key to your account.
1. If you are using Mac run following commands in Terminal window or if you are using Windows install GitBash command utility ( https://gitforwindows.github.io ) to run following commands.

Step 2. Create your SSH Keys:
2.1.Before generating an SSH key in your shell, check if your system already has
one by running the following command:

 cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

2.2.if keys are not there then generate a new SSH key, use the following
command:

ssh keygen -t rsa -C"$your_email"

Note:This command will prompt you for a location and filename to store the
key pair and for a password. When prompted for the location and filename,
just press enter to use the default.
2.3. To copy your public key to the clipboard, use the code below. Depending on
your OS you’ll need to use a different command:

 For Windows: clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
 For Mac: pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Step 3. Open Git repository from you credentials and Add your SSH Key
3.1. On the left side menu, click on “profile settings” and then click on “SSH Keys”:

How to Create Replication and Sharding in MongoDB

Let’s follow the given steps to create and configure the 3 nodes replica sets in MongoDB. The configuration should be as mentioned below:

  • Port 27017 (default port) – primary node, 1.log as log file name 1.log, data file in rs1
  • Port 27018 – secondary node, 2.log as log file name, data file in rs2
  • Port 27019 – secondary node, 3.log as log file name, data file in rs3.

The replica sets name is “Testing”.

Steps 1
You need to create three directories to store three mongod instances data separately.
On windows
Open command prompt and give the following command.

C:\>mkdir \data\rs1 \data\rs2 \data\rs3

On unix or mac

mkdir –p /data/rs1 /data/rs2 /data/rs3

Step 2
Now let’s start three mongod instances as follows.
On windows

C:\>start mongod --replSet Testing --logpath  \data\rs1\1.log --dbpath \data\rs1 --port 27017 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64
C:\>start mongod --replSet Testing --logpath  \data\rs1\2.log --dbpath \data\rs2 --port 27018 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64
C:\>start mongod --replSet Testing --logpath  \data\rs1\3.log --dbpath \data\rs3 --port 27019 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64

On unix or mac

mongod --replSet Testing --logpath \data\rs1\1.log --dbpath /data/rs1 --port 27017 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64 --fork
mongod --replSet Testing --logpath \data\rs1\2.log --dbpath /data/rs2 --port 27018 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64 –fork
mongod --replSet Testing --logpath \data\rs1\3.log --dbpath /data/rs3 --port 27019 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64 --fork

Now three mongod servers are running but they are not configured or initialized yet to interconnect to work for replica sets.

Step 3
You need to interconnect all three nodes. You need to open a command prompt and write configuration code and finally you need to call rs.initiate(config) command to start the replica sets as expected. I am giving replica sets name as “acemyskillsrepsets” but you can give it any other name.

 

C:\>mongo --port 27017

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test

> config = {_id:"Testing", members: [

{_id: 0, host: "localhost:27017"},

{_id: 1, host: "localhost:27018"},

{_id: 2, host: "localhost:27019"}]

};

> rs.initiate(config);

{ "ok" : 1 }

Now replica sets with three nodes is setup and configured successfully. You can check the status of the replica sets withrs.status().

Testing:PRIMARY> rs.status();

{

        "set" : "Testing",

        "date" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:14:03.474Z"),

        "myState" : 1,

        "members" : [

                {

                        "_id" : 0,

                        "name" : "localhost:27017",

                        "health" : 1,

                        "state" : 1,

                        "stateStr" : "PRIMARY",

                        "uptime" : 1855,

                        "optime" : Timestamp(1442138448, 1),

                        "optimeDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:00:48Z"),

                        "electionTime" : Timestamp(1442138452, 1),

                        "electionDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:00:52Z"),

                        "configVersion" : 1,

                        "self" : true

                },

                {

                        "_id" : 1,

                        "name" : "localhost:27018",

                        "health" : 1,

                        "state" : 2,

                        "stateStr" : "SECONDARY",

                        "uptime" : 795,

                        "optime" : Timestamp(1442138448, 1),

                        "optimeDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:00:48Z"),

                        "lastHeartbeat" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:14:02.580Z"),

                        "lastHeartbeatRecv" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:14:02.579Z"),

                        "pingMs" : 0,

                        "configVersion" : 1

                },

                {

                        "_id" : 2,

                        "name" : "localhost:27019",

                        "health" : 1,

                        "state" : 2,

                        "stateStr" : "SECONDARY",

                        "uptime" : 795,

                        "optime" : Timestamp(1442138448, 1),

                        "optimeDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:00:48Z"),

                        "lastHeartbeat" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:14:02.580Z"),

                        "lastHeartbeatRecv" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:14:02.580Z"),

                        "pingMs" : 0,

                        "configVersion" : 1

                }

        ],

        "ok" : 1

}

 

If you observe the above result set its clearly written that there are three nodes and localhost:27017 is the primary and rest two are secondary nodes. Congratulations!!! the replication system named as “Testing” is now ready to use.

Testing

Now we need to insert a document into the primary node and after insertion read the inserted document.

Testing:PRIMARY> db.movies.insert({name: "Up", releasedyear: "2009"});

WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })

Testing:PRIMARY> db.movies.find();

{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f54f55524898bbac0e5792"), "name" : "Up", "releasedyear" : "2009" }



Now let’s connect with a secondary node and read the data inserted by the primary node. If we read the data in the secondary node means the secondary nodes are in sync with the primary node and primary node’s replication is available to all secondary nodes.

To connect with the localhost:27018 by opening another command prompt and connect with a secondary node localhost:27018. After connecting with localhost:27018 and once you try to read the data from the node, it gives you an error because by default you cannot read from the secondary node. To read data from the secondary node you need to give the command rs.slaveOk().

 

C:\>mongo --port 27018

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27018/test

Testing:SECONDARY> db.movies.find();

Error: error: { "$err" : "not master and slaveOk=false", "code" : 13435 }

Testing:SECONDARY> rs.slaveOk();

Testing:SECONDARY> db.movies.find();

{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f54f55524898bbac0e5792"), "name" : "Up", "releasedyear" : "2009" }

 

You can only read data from the secondary nodes but cannot insert document to the secondary nodes. Try the following query which gives you error.

Testing:SECONDARY> db.movies.insert({name: "The Day After Tomorrow", releasedyear: 2004});

WriteResult({ "writeError" : { "code" : undefined, "errmsg" : "not master" } })

 

Replication Internals
To know how this replication is happening internally, you need to analyze the oplog.rs file in each nodes including primary and secondary.

Let’s connect to the primary node (localhost:27017) and switch to local database. You can use show collections command to see all the collections present in the local database. Finally, you can see the oplog.rs file by giving the query db.oplog.rs.find().pretty().

C:\>mongo --port 27017

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test

Testing:PRIMARY> use local

switched to db local

Testing:PRIMARY> show collections

oplog.rs

startup_log

system.indexes

system.replset

Testing:PRIMARY> db.oplog.rs.find().pretty();

{

        "ts" : Timestamp(1442138448, 1),

        "h" : NumberLong(0),

        "v" : 2,

        "op" : "n",

        "ns" : "",

        "o" : {

                "msg" : "initiating set"

        }

}

{

        "ts" : Timestamp(1442139989, 1),

        "h" : NumberLong("-5383414929107714031"),

        "v" : 2,

        "op" : "c",

        "ns" : "test.$cmd",

        "o" : {

                "create" : "movies"

        }

}

{

        "ts" : Timestamp(1442139989, 2),

        "h" : NumberLong("-3864814140778310651"),

        "v" : 2,

        "op" : "i",

        "ns" : "test.movies",

        "o" : {

                "_id" : ObjectId("55f54f55524898bbac0e5792"),

                "name" : "Up",

                "releasedyear" : "2009"

        }




In the above file you can see there are three operations creating replica sets, creating movies collection and inserting a movie “up” into the collection. You can find the similar oplog.rs file in all secondary nodes. This is the file which is synced between the nodes and replication is happened between the nodes.

Now let’s connect to a secondary node localhost:27018 to observe the oplog.rs but you will definitely see the similar file over there too.

C:\>mongo --port 27018

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27018/test

        "v" : 2,

        "op" : "n",

        "ns" : "",

        "o" : {

                "msg" : "initiating set"

        }

}

{

        "ts" : Timestamp(1442139989, 1),

        }

}

        "ns" : "test.movies",

        "o" : {

                "_id" : ObjectId("55f54f55524898bbac0e5792"),

                "name" : "Up",

                "releasedyear" : "2009"

        }

}

Failover in Replication
To see the failover situation in replica sets, let’s shutdown the primary node. It can be clearly seen in which node you are now in the command prompt. But if you want to check from command, you can give rs.isMaster(). If you are in the secondary node, you need to connect to localhost:27017 i.e. primary node. Once you are inside the primary node, we need to shutdown the primary node giving thedb.shutdownServer() command. Once the primary server is down there will be automatic election process to select the a new primary node which will take only a few milliseconds.

 

C:\>mongo --port 27017

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test

Testing:PRIMARY> db.shutdownServer();

shutdown command only works with the admin database; try 'use admin'

Testing:PRIMARY> use admin

switched to db admin

Testing:PRIMARY> db.shutdownServer();

2015-09-13T17:11:16.247+0545 I NETWORK  DBClientCursor::init call() failed

Now let’s connect to localhost:27018 and give the rs.status() command . In the result set it can be seen that one of the two secondary nodes becomes primary. Whenever the previously shutdown node becomes up, it will be secondary.

C:\>mongo --port 27018

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27018/test

Testing:PRIMARY> rs.status();

                        "pingMs" : 0,

                        "lastHeartbeatMessage" : "Failed attempt to connect to localhost:27017; couldn't connect to server localhost:27017 (127.0.0.1), connection attempt failed",

                        "configVersion" : -1

                },

                {

                        "_id" : 1,

                        "name" : "localhost:27018",

                        "health" : 1,

                        "state" : 1,

                        "stateStr" : "PRIMARY",

                        "uptime" : 6208,

                        "optime" : Timestamp(1442139989, 2),

                        "optimeDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:26:29Z"),

                        "electionDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T11:26:17Z"),

                        "configVersion" : 1,

                        "self" : true

                },

                {

                        "_id" : 2,

                        "name" : "localhost:27019",

                        "health" : 1,

                        "state" : 2,

                        "stateStr" : "SECONDARY",

                        "uptime" : 5179,

                        "optime" : Timestamp(1442139989, 2),

                        "optimeDate" : ISODate("2015-09-13T10:26:29Z"),

                        "lastHeartbeat" : ISODate("2015-09-13T11:27:09.476Z"),

                        "lastHeartbeatRecv" : ISODate("2015-09-13T11:27:09.475Z"),

                        "pingMs" : 0,

                        "configVersion" : 1

                }

        ],

        "ok" : 1

}

 

To see what happens when the previous node is down but one document is inserted into the newly elected primary node. Its very simple, whenever the previously down server becomes up it becomes as secondary node and sync all the data (oplog.rs) that is in the new elected primary nodes. Let’s see this scenario in the following section.

  1. Inserting a movie document into the new primary node.
  2. Testing:PRIMARY> db.movies.insert({name: “The Day After Tomorrow”, releasedyear: 2004});
  3. WriteResult({ “nInserted” : 1 })
  4. Make the previously down node to up
  5. C:\>start mongod –replSet Testing –logpath \data\rs1\1.log –dbpath \data\rs1 –port 27017 –smallfiles –oplogSize 64

Connect to the localhost:27017 (which was down before) and you can see all the documents including the inserted documents when it was down

C:\>mongo --port 27017

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.3

connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test

Testing:SECONDARY> rs.slaveOk();

Testing:SECONDARY> db.movies.find();

{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f54f55524898bbac0e5792"), "name" : "Up", "releasedyear" : "2009" }

{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f55e78e57ac7df5b34d4cf"), "name" : "The Day After Tomorrow", "releasedyear"

 

  1. Lastly, you can check the oplog.rs file and if you match it primary node. Its similar as primary node.

That’s the end of this article. I believe you understand the basic set up and configuration of replica sets in MongoDB. After reading and exercising this article you can try replica sets with separate computer or if possible geographically separated servers that will reflect the real implementation of the replica sets but don’t forget to manage your firewall configuration in that case. Happy Coding!!! Cheers!!!

 

How to Install, Configure and Start MongoDB in Windows

In this article I am writing how to install, general configuration MongoDB and testing its successful installation by inserting a few city names and displaying the inserted information from collection. To install MongoDB you need to download the latest production release of MongoDB from the MongoDB downloads page and you need to scroll down to the previously clicked downloads page until you reach the following screen and select the appropriate operating system tab.

Screen to download MongoDB

I have a Windows 10 installed on my computer that’s why I selected Windows tab. You need to choose the correct version from the drop down and click on the DOWNLOAD(MSI) button at the left corner of the box.

Once the file is downloaded, double click on the downloaded file and complete the installation process as wizard leads you. In my computer MongoDB is installed at C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin folder.

Inside C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin folder you can see a bunch of executable files (.exe). Among them mongo.exe is the client shell and mongod.exe is the server. Before running mongod and mongo from Command Prompt, you need to add Path Environment Variables for MongoDB. Follow the following steps to set up the PATH environment variable.

  • Right click on Computer

  • Click on Properties

  • Click on Advanced System Settings which opens up a pop up box as below

  • Click on Environment variables

Steps to set up environment variables in Windows

Now you need to create default directory \data\db for MongoDB. You need to create a folder \data\db in C: drive. Once default directory for MongoDB is created, you need to open Command Prompt and type mongod which opens MongoDB server displaying logs and if you read the log messages, you come to know that the server is listening MongoDB clients at port 27017. To keep the directory in other drives with different name than \data\db in C:, you need to give the following command instead of only mongod in command prompt.

mongod --dbpath C:\mongodata

Next you need to open another Command Prompt and put the command mongo which starts the mongo shell and connects with the mongod server via localhost at port 27017.

Now the MongoDB is installed successfully. You can insert a few city names to test whether it is working properly or not. In mongocommand prompt type the following commands to insert a few city names and displaying them from the cities collection.
