mongo/db/catalog/create_collection.cpp中reateCollection构建元数据文档:将集合信息(命名空间、选项、键前缀等)序列化为 BSON 格式,{ ns: "db.conca", ident: "collection-0--8262702921578327518", md: };
_rs->insertRecord将元数据文档插入到Catalog的记录存储(RecordStore)中,写入到系统表_uri:table:_mdb_catalog中。_mdb_catalog存储集合和索引的元数据信息,_mdb_catalog.wt在数据库文件夹下面:

数据库的信息在哪个文件存储呢?
/mongo/db/catalog/create_collection.cpp是创建集合的核心代码,后面重点分析其中获取数据库的代码。
mongo/db/catalog/create_collection.cpp中_createCollection是命令db.createCollection('conca', { })核心方法。AutoGetOrCreateDb autoDb先获取到对应的数据库。
cpp
Status _createCollection(OperationContext* opCtx,
const NamespaceString& nss,
const CollectionOptions& collectionOptions,
const BSONObj& idIndex) {
...
AutoGetOrCreateDb autoDb(opCtx, nss.db(), MODE_IX);
Lock::CollectionLock collLock(opCtx, nss, MODE_X);
...
});
}
/mongo/db/catalog_raii.cpp中AutoGetOrCreateDb代码,_autoDb.getDb()获取数据库,如果没有获取到db,openDb则进行打开对应的数据库。
cpp
AutoGetOrCreateDb::AutoGetOrCreateDb(OperationContext* opCtx,
StringData dbName,
LockMode mode,
Date_t deadline)
: _autoDb(opCtx, dbName, mode, deadline) {
invariant(mode == MODE_IX || mode == MODE_X);
_db = _autoDb.getDb();
if (!_db) {
auto databaseHolder = DatabaseHolder::get(opCtx);
_db = databaseHolder->openDb(opCtx, dbName, &_justCreated);
}
auto dss = DatabaseShardingState::get(opCtx, dbName);
auto dssLock = DatabaseShardingState::DSSLock::lockShared(opCtx, dss);
dss->checkDbVersion(opCtx, dssLock);
}
/mongo/db/catalog/database_holder_impl.cpp中openDb代码:
std::make_unique<DatabaseImpl>(dbname, ++_epoch)创建数据库实现类DatabaseImpl, newDb->init初始化数据库实现类。auto it = _dbs.find(dbname);再次获取是否存在相同名称的数据库,如果存在则返回,如果不存在则设置进去。
cpp
Database* DatabaseHolderImpl::openDb(OperationContext* opCtx, StringData ns, bool* justCreated) {
const StringData dbname = _todb(ns);
invariant(opCtx->lockState()->isDbLockedForMode(dbname, MODE_IX));
if (justCreated)
*justCreated = false; // Until proven otherwise.
stdx::unique_lock<SimpleMutex> lk(_m);
// The following will insert a nullptr for dbname, which will treated the same as a non-
// existant database by the get method, yet still counts in getNamesWithConflictingCasing.
if (auto db = _dbs[dbname])
return db;
// We've inserted a nullptr entry for dbname: make sure to remove it on unsuccessful exit.
auto removeDbGuard = makeGuard([this, &lk, dbname] {
if (!lk.owns_lock())
lk.lock();
_dbs.erase(dbname);
});
// Check casing in lock to avoid transient duplicates.
auto duplicates = _getNamesWithConflictingCasing_inlock(dbname);
uassert(ErrorCodes::DatabaseDifferCase,
str::stream() << "db already exists with different case already have: ["
<< *duplicates.cbegin() << "] trying to create [" << dbname.toString()
<< "]",
duplicates.empty());
// Do the catalog lookup and database creation outside of the scoped lock, because these may
// block.
lk.unlock();
if (CollectionCatalog::get(opCtx).getAllCollectionUUIDsFromDb(dbname).empty()) {
audit::logCreateDatabase(opCtx->getClient(), dbname);
if (justCreated)
*justCreated = true;
}
auto newDb = std::make_unique<DatabaseImpl>(dbname, ++_epoch);
newDb->init(opCtx);
// Finally replace our nullptr entry with the new Database pointer.
removeDbGuard.dismiss();
lk.lock();
auto it = _dbs.find(dbname);
// Dropping a database requires a MODE_X lock, so the entry in the `_dbs` map cannot disappear.
invariant(it != _dbs.end());
if (it->second) {
// Creating databases only requires a DB lock in MODE_IX. Thus databases can concurrently
// created. If this thread "lost the race", return the database object that was persisted in
// the `_dbs` map.
return it->second;
}
it->second = newDb.release();
invariant(_getNamesWithConflictingCasing_inlock(dbname.toString()).empty());
return it->second;
}
/mongo/db/catalog/database_impl.cpp中DatabaseImpl::init代码:
cpp
void DatabaseImpl::init(OperationContext* const opCtx) const {
Status status = validateDBName(_name);
if (!status.isOK()) {
warning() << "tried to open invalid db: " << _name;
uasserted(10028, status.toString());
}
auto& catalog = CollectionCatalog::get(opCtx);
for (const auto& uuid : catalog.getAllCollectionUUIDsFromDb(_name)) {
auto collection = catalog.lookupCollectionByUUID(uuid);
invariant(collection);
// If this is called from the repair path, the collection is already initialized.
if (!collection->isInitialized())
collection->init(opCtx);
}
// At construction time of the viewCatalog, the CollectionCatalog map wasn't initialized yet,
// so no system.views collection would be found. Now that we're sufficiently initialized, reload
// the viewCatalog to populate its in-memory state. If there are problems with the catalog
// contents as might be caused by incorrect mongod versions or similar, they are found right
// away.
auto views = ViewCatalog::get(this);
Status reloadStatus = views->reload(opCtx, ViewCatalogLookupBehavior::kValidateDurableViews);
if (!reloadStatus.isOK()) {
warning() << "Unable to parse views: " << redact(reloadStatus)
<< "; remove any invalid views from the " << _viewsName
<< " collection to restore server functionality." << startupWarningsLog;
}
}
DatabaseImpl::init这段代码是 MongoDB 中DatabaseImpl
类的init
方法实现,主要功能是完成数据库的初始化工作,包括验证数据库名合法性、初始化集合以及加载视图目录等。
