Definition

sh.addShardTag(shard, tag)

New in version 2.2.

Associates a shard with a tag or identifier. MongoDB uses these identifiers to direct chunks that fall within a tagged range to specific shards. sh.addTagRange() associates chunk ranges with tag ranges.

Parameter Type Description
shard string The name of the shard to which to give a specific tag.
tag string The name of the tag to add to the shard.

Only issue sh.addShardTag() when connected to a mongos instance.

Example

The following example adds three tags, NYC, LAX, and NRT, to three shards:

sh.addShardTag("shard0000", "NYC")
sh.addShardTag("shard0001", "LAX")
sh.addShardTag("shard0002", "NRT")
