High number of commands on replica set members in authenticated sharded setup

    • Affects Version/s: 2.0.4
    • Component/s: Security, Sharding
    • None
    • Environment:
      Ubuntu 10.04, 64bit running on EC2 (replica sets on large instances, config servers and mongos on micro instances)
    • ALL

      We started to experience that our daily jobs which heavily use our MongoDB cluster took really long to finish. Looking at the output of mongostat on our replica sets we saw that the number of commands was much higher than the number of other operations.

      During a typical run of the daily jobs the query count would be around 4000 and the command count below 100 while other operation counts vary between hundreds and a few thousands. At this time the query count was 300-400 and the command count 1200-1600.

      Our mongodb cluster is authenticated and we use the same keyFile for all mongo instances.

      I started to log network communication with mongosniff which reported high number of 'need to login' errors between the replica set members and mongos instances. This has happened before and we could always solve the issue by restarting the mongos instances. I tried to do the same now but unfortunately it didn't help. I also restarted all other pieces of the cluster too but that didn't solve the issue either.

      The only difference between previous occasions and this one is that yesterday I upgraded all nodes from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4.

      Here's a piece of the mongosniff output:
