MongoDB snapshot retries on network errors
MongoDB snapshot retries cover network-level failures and connection pool cleared errors, in addition to server-side cursor errors.
Transient network failures during a long MongoDB snapshot — connection resets, timeouts, or connection pool errors — would previously abort the entire backfill, requiring a manual restart.
MongoDB snapshot retries now cover network-level failures and connection pool cleared errors, not just server-side cursor errors.
Why this matters
- Eliminates manual restarts caused by transient network blips during large snapshots
- Especially useful for long-running collection backfills over unstable connections
