MongoDB Error 217: Incomplete Transaction History
Description
This error indicates that MongoDB detected a transaction that did not complete its lifecycle, leaving its history in an inconsistent state. It typically occurs when a multi-document transaction is interrupted prematurely due to system failures or network issues, preventing a full commit or abort operation.
Error Message
Incomplete Transaction History
Known Causes
4 known causesAbrupt Server Termination
A MongoDB instance unexpectedly shutting down during an active multi-document transaction can prevent the transaction from fully committing or aborting its state.
Network Connectivity Loss
Intermittent or complete loss of network connectivity between application clients and MongoDB, or within a replica set, can disrupt transaction progression.
Replica Set Instability
A primary replica set member failing over or a secondary member falling significantly behind during a transaction can lead to an incomplete transaction history.
System Resource Constraints
Severe memory pressure or disk I/O bottlenecks can prevent MongoDB from reliably writing transaction states, leading to inconsistencies.
