MONGOC_MANAGE_COLLECTION_INDEXES(3) libmongoc MONGOC_MANAGE_COLLECTION_INDEXES(3)

To create indexes on a MongoDB collection, use mongoc_collection_create_indexes_with_opts():

// `keys` represents an ascending index on field `x`.
bson_t *keys = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_INT32 (1));
mongoc_index_model_t *im = mongoc_index_model_new (keys, NULL /* opts */);
if (mongoc_collection_create_indexes_with_opts (coll, &im, 1, NULL /* opts */, NULL /* reply */, &error)) {

printf ("Successfully created index\n"); } else {
bson_destroy (keys);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to create index: %s", error.message); } bson_destroy (keys);


To list indexes, use mongoc_collection_find_indexes_with_opts():

mongoc_cursor_t *cursor = mongoc_collection_find_indexes_with_opts (coll, NULL /* opts */);
printf ("Listing indexes:\n");
const bson_t *got;
while (mongoc_cursor_next (cursor, &got)) {

char *got_str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (got, NULL);
printf (" %s\n", got_str);
bson_free (got_str); } if (mongoc_cursor_error (cursor, &error)) {
mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to list indexes: %s", error.message); } mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);


To drop an index, use mongoc_collection_drop_index_with_opts(). The index name may be obtained from the keys document with mongoc_collection_keys_to_index_string():

bson_t *keys = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_INT32 (1));
char *index_name = mongoc_collection_keys_to_index_string (keys);
if (mongoc_collection_drop_index_with_opts (coll, index_name, NULL /* opts */, &error)) {

printf ("Successfully dropped index\n"); } else {
bson_free (index_name);
bson_destroy (keys);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to drop index: %s", error.message); } bson_free (index_name); bson_destroy (keys);

MANAGE ATLAS SEARCH INDEXES

To create an Atlas Search Index, use the createSearchIndexes command:

bson_t cmd;
// Create command.
{

char *cmd_str = bson_strdup_printf (
BSON_STR ({
"createSearchIndexes" : "%s",
"indexes" : [ {"definition" : {"mappings" : {"dynamic" : false}}, "name" : "test-index"} ]
}),
collname);
ASSERT (bson_init_from_json (&cmd, cmd_str, -1, &error));
bson_free (cmd_str); } if (!mongoc_collection_command_simple (coll, &cmd, NULL /* read_prefs */, NULL /* reply */, &error)) {
bson_destroy (&cmd);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to run createSearchIndexes: %s", error.message); } printf ("Created index: \"test-index\"\n"); bson_destroy (&cmd);


To list Atlas Search Indexes, use the $listSearchIndexes aggregation stage:

const char *pipeline_str = BSON_STR ({"pipeline" : [ {"$listSearchIndexes" : {}} ]});
bson_t pipeline;
ASSERT (bson_init_from_json (&pipeline, pipeline_str, -1, &error));
mongoc_cursor_t *cursor =

mongoc_collection_aggregate (coll, MONGOC_QUERY_NONE, &pipeline, NULL /* opts */, NULL /* read_prefs */); printf ("Listing indexes:\n"); const bson_t *got; while (mongoc_cursor_next (cursor, &got)) {
char *got_str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (got, NULL);
printf (" %s\n", got_str);
bson_free (got_str); } if (mongoc_cursor_error (cursor, &error)) {
bson_destroy (&pipeline);
mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to run $listSearchIndexes: %s", error.message); } bson_destroy (&pipeline); mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);


To update an Atlas Search Index, use the updateSearchIndex command:

bson_t cmd;
// Create command.
{

char *cmd_str = bson_strdup_printf (
BSON_STR (
{"updateSearchIndex" : "%s", "definition" : {"mappings" : {"dynamic" : true}}, "name" : "test-index"}),
collname);
ASSERT (bson_init_from_json (&cmd, cmd_str, -1, &error));
bson_free (cmd_str); } if (!mongoc_collection_command_simple (coll, &cmd, NULL /* read_prefs */, NULL /* reply */, &error)) {
bson_destroy (&cmd);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to run updateSearchIndex: %s", error.message); } printf ("Updated index: \"test-index\"\n"); bson_destroy (&cmd);


To drop an Atlas Search Index, use the dropSearchIndex command:

bson_t cmd;
// Create command.
{

char *cmd_str = bson_strdup_printf (BSON_STR ({"dropSearchIndex" : "%s", "name" : "test-index"}), collname);
ASSERT (bson_init_from_json (&cmd, cmd_str, -1, &error));
bson_free (cmd_str); } if (!mongoc_collection_command_simple (coll, &cmd, NULL /* read_prefs */, NULL /* reply */, &error)) {
bson_destroy (&cmd);
HANDLE_ERROR ("Failed to run dropSearchIndex: %s", error.message); } printf ("Dropped index: \"test-index\"\n"); bson_destroy (&cmd);
