We are currently setting up a mongodb database for our enviroment. We are running into specific collections which will initially be more then 2gb of size.
Out deployment enviroment is a 64bit Ubuntu machine.
We are trying to find what is the limit of a sizes of a specific collection and shard for mongodb in a sharding enviroment?
As far as I know, there is no limit to the size of a collection within MongoDB. The only limit would be the amount of disk space available to you. In the case of sharding, it would be the total amount of disk space available on all shards. And according to the docs, you can only have 1000 shards.
