Query Optimization
With update the positional operator can be combined with additional fields after the dollar sign, for example 'a.$.b' to indicate the 'b' field within the matched array element. This is not yet supported with positional projections.
Observed behavior: Projecting
{ 'a.$.b':1 }is equivalent to projecting
{ 'a.$':1 }.
Expected behavior: Projecting
will project only the 'b' field within the matching array element.
Test
c = db.c; c.drop(); c.save( { a:[ { b:10, c:1 }, { b:5, c:1 } ] } ); // Update the 'b' field within the matching array element. c.update( { 'a.b':5 }, { $set:{ 'a.$.b':6 } } ); printjson( c.findOne() ); // Projects the entire matching array element. printjson( c.find( { 'a.b':6 }, { 'a.$':1 } ).toArray() ); // Projects the entire matching array element (contrary to expected behavior). printjson( c.find( { 'a.b':6 }, { 'a.$.b':1 } ).toArray() ); // Projects the 'b' fields within all array elements. printjson( c.find( { 'a.b':6 }, { 'a.b':1 } ).toArray() );
