MongoDB Error 209: Stale Cluster Time Detected
Description
This error signifies that a MongoDB node or client is attempting an operation with a cluster time significantly older than the current time known by the primary. This discrepancy can disrupt distributed operations, causing failures in reads or writes that rely on causality.
Error Message
Stale Cluster Time
Known Causes
3 known causesClock Skew Between Nodes
System clocks on different MongoDB cluster members are out of synchronization, leading to inconsistent timestamps across the distributed system.
High Network Latency or Partition
Significant delays or interruptions in network communication prevent cluster time updates from propagating efficiently among replica set members or shards.
Primary Node Resource Exhaustion
The primary node is overloaded or experiencing resource constraints, hindering its ability to process and propagate cluster time updates in a timely fashion.
