Error message

mongodb count error

What it means

Thrown by the static getCountOfMongodb when a RuntimeException occurs while building and executing an executeSelectTable command to count rows in a MongoDB collection. It wraps the exception with the tableName and the original message. This is a MongoDB-specific count fallback that loads the table and reads dataList size rather than issuing a count command.

Solutions

  1. Verify the collection (tableName) exists in the MongoDB database.
  2. Inspect the chained cause for the MongoDB driver error.
  3. Check connection health and read permissions.
  4. For very large collections, note this implementation loads all rows to count — consider a native count command if performance is an issue.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

try {
    Long total = service.count(req);
} catch (BusinessException e) {
    if ("mongodb count error".equals(e.getCode())) {
        Object[] args = e.getArgs(); // [tableName, message]
        // verify collection exists; inspect e.getCause()
    } else { throw e; }
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling count() on a MongoDB datasource (getCountOfMongodb path) where executor.executeSelectTable(command) throws a RuntimeException — collection doesn't exist, connection lost, driver error, or the response is malformed.

Common situations: MongoDB collection name typo or already dropped; connection dropped; permissions to read the collection missing; very large collection where loading all rows fails (memory/timeout).
