mongodb - Mongo transactions and updates -


if i've got environment multiple instances of same client connecting mongodb server , want simple locking mechanism ensure single client access short time, can safely use own lock object?

say have 1 object lockstate can "locked" or "unlocked" , plan checks "unlocked" before doing "stuff". lock system say:

db.collection.update( { "lockstate": "unlocked" }, { "lockstate": "locked" })

(aka update lockobj set lockstate = 'locked' lockstate = 'unlocked')

if 2 clients try lock system @ same time, possible both clients can end thinking "have lock"?

  • both clients find record query parameter of update
  • client 1 updates record (which atomic operation)
    • update returns success
  • client 2 updates document (it's found before client 1 modified it)
    • update returns success

i realize contrived case hard reproduce, possible or mongo somehow make client 2's update fail?

alternative approach
use insert instead of update. insert atomic , fail if document exists.

to lock system: db.locks.insert({someid: 27, state: “locked”}). if insert succeeds - i've got lock , since update atomic, no 1 else can have it. if insert fails - else must have lock.

if 2 clients try lock system @ same time, possible both clients can end thinking "have lock"?

no, 1 client @ time writes lock space (global, database, collection or document depending on version , configuration) , operations on lock space sequential , 1 or other (read or write, not both) per document other connections not mistakenly pick document in inbetween state , think not locked client.

all operations on single document atomic, whether update or insert.

utf 8 - split utf-8 string into bytes in python -

i trying split utf-8 string bytes in python 3. problem is, when use bytearray, byte, encode etc functions array size of element 14 bytes, not 1 byte expected. need split text file sequence of bytes , send them byte after byte using sockets. tried this: infile = open (file, "r") str = infile.read() byte_str = bytes(str, 'utf-8') print("size of byte_str",sys.getsizeof(byte_str[0])) print gives me 14, need 1... suggestion? quoting official documentation : sys.getsizeof(object[, default]) return size of object in bytes. object can type of object. built-in objects return correct results, not have hold true third-party extensions implementation specific. only memory consumption directly attributed object accounted for, not memory consumption of objects refers to. if given, default returned if object not provide means retrieve size. otherwise typeerror raised. getsizeof() calls object’s __sizeof__ method , adds ...
