MongoDB Error 165: View Depth Limit Exceeded
Description
This error indicates that a MongoDB view definition has exceeded the maximum allowed depth for view nesting or chaining. It commonly occurs when a view references another view, which in turn references another view, creating a long dependency chain that hits an internal system limit.
Error Message
View Depth Limit Exceeded
Known Causes
3 known causesExcessive View Nesting
Creating views that reference other views, which then reference further views, exceeding the internal depth limit set by MongoDB.
Long View Dependency Chains
A series of views where each view depends on the previous one, forming an overly long chain of transformations that can trigger the depth limit.
Complex View Logic
Overly intricate view definitions that, while not directly recursive, create deep computational graphs that indirectly hit the depth limit.
