It's not just that the defaults are dangerous, but that if you change the default, you give up much of the performance benefit of choosing Mongo in the first place.
- gaius 14y agoIf you don't care whether a write succeeds or not then you can get even more performance by not making the call to the DB in the first place!
- taligent 14y agoSorry but NOBODY is choosing MongoDB purely based on speed. If they were they would go with something like MemSQL, Redis etc.
- rdtsc 14y agoThey did it more when it first came around. Redis wasn't in the same category. It was usually compared to CouchDB, another one I don't remember, and then traditional SQL DBs. Couch for example looked much worse in benchmarks because it tried a bit harder to take care of users' data and didn't just fling it over the fence. But it mostly lost out because OMG benchmarks!
