MongoDB data corruption on a replica set - mongodb

I am working with a MongoDB database running in a replica set.
Unfortunately, I noticed that the data appears to be corrupted.
There should be over 10,000 documents in the database. However, there are several thousand records that are not being returned in queries.
The total count DOES show the correct total.
db.records.find().count()
10793
And some records are returned when querying by RecordID (a custom sequence integer).
db.records.find({"RecordID": 10049})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5dfbdb35c1c2a400104edece")
However, when querying for a records that I know for a fact should exist, it does not return anything.
db.records.find({"RecordID": 10048})
db.records.find({"RecordID": 10047})
db.records.find({"RecordID": 10046})
The issue appears to be very sporadic, and in some cases entire ranges of records are missing. The entire range from RecordIDs 1500 to 8000 is missing.
Questions: What could be the cause of the issue? What can I do to troubleshoot this issue further and recover the corrupted data? I looked into running repairDatabase but that is for standalone instances only.
UPDATE:

UPDATE 2:
We did a restore from a backup and somehow it looks like it fixed the issue.

Can't view databases on secodary node on mongodb

I have just deployed a mongodb and inserted some data to a new db. I can see the database on MongoDB compass when connecting to the primary with MongoDB Compass but can't view it on secondary node.
It seems there is no replication lags on the secondary nodes.
rs.printSecondaryReplicationInfo()
source: node2:27017
{ syncedTo: 'Sun Oct 23 2022 12:20:07 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)',
replLag: '0 secs (0 hrs) behind the primary ' }
source: node3:27017
{ syncedTo: 'Sun Oct 23 2022 12:20:07 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)',
replLag: '0 secs (0 hrs) behind the primary ' }
Primary node:
Secondary node:
Edited:
I just spotted the problem. This is happening only when you set readPreference to primary but it doesn't happen with primaryPreferred. Do you know what that would be?
mongodb://user:password#localhost:27017/?authSource=admin&readPreference=primaryPreferred&directConnection=true&ssl=false

How to measure time of replicating mongo database?

I perform a write operation with a huge data to primary server.
How to measure time since data available on primary server to secondary server.
From https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/troubleshoot-replica-sets/#check-the-replication-lag:
To check the current length of replication lag:
In a mongo shell connected to the primary, call the rs.printSlaveReplicationInfo() method.
Returns the syncedTo value for each member, which shows the time when the last oplog entry was written to the secondary, as shown in the following example:
source: m1.example.net:27017
syncedTo: Thu Apr 10 2014 10:27:47 GMT-0400 (EDT)
0 secs (0 hrs) behind the primary
source: m2.example.net:27017
syncedTo: Thu Apr 10 2014 10:27:47 GMT-0400 (EDT)
0 secs (0 hrs) behind the primary

MongoDB primary stepDown does not succeed

Setup: replica set with 5 nodes, version 3.4.5.
Trying to switch PRIMARY with rs.stepDown(60, 30) but consistently getting the error:
rs0:PRIMARY> rs.stepDown(60, 30)
{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "No electable secondaries caught up as of 2017-07-11T00:21:11.205+0000. Please use {force: true} to force node to step down.",
"code" : 50,
"codeName" : "ExceededTimeLimit"
}
However, rs.printSlaveReplicationInfo() running in a parallel terminal confirms that all replicas are fully caught up:
rs0:PRIMARY> rs.printSlaveReplicationInfo()
source: X.X.X.X:27017
syncedTo: Tue Jul 11 2017 00:21:11 GMT+0000 (UTC)

source: X.X.X.X:27017
syncedTo: Tue Jul 11 2017 00:21:11 GMT+0000 (UTC)
0 secs (0 hrs) behind the primary
Am I doing something wrong?
UPD: I've checked long running operations before and during rs.stepDown as was suggested below and it looks like this:
# Before rs.stepDown
$ watch "mongo --quiet --eval 'JSON.stringify(db.currentOp())' | jq -r '.inprog[] | \"\(.secs_running) \(.desc) \(.op)\"' | sort -rnk1"
984287 rsSync none
984287 ReplBatcher none
67 WT RecordStoreThread: local.oplog.rs none
null SyncSourceFeedback none
null NoopWriter none
0 conn615153 command
0 conn614948 update
0 conn614748 getmore
...
# During rs.stepDown
984329 rsSync none
984329 ReplBatcher none
108 WT RecordStoreThread: local.oplog.rs none
16 conn615138 command
16 conn615136 command
16 conn615085 update
16 conn615079 insert
...
Basically, long running user operations seem to happen as a result of rs.stepDown() as secs_running becomes nonzero once PRIMARY attempts to switch over and keeps growing all the way up until stepDown fails. Then everything gets back to normal.
Any ideas on why this happens and whether that's normal at all?
I have used below command to step down to secondary
db.adminCommand( { replSetStepDown: 120, secondaryCatchUpPeriodSecs: 15, force: true } )
You can find this in below mongodb official documentation
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/replSetStepDown/
To close the loop on this question, it was determined that the failed stepdown was due to time going backward on the host.
MongoDB 3.4.6 is more resilient to time issues on the host, and upgrading the deployment fixes the stalling issues.
Before stepping down, rs.stepDown() will attempt to terminate long running user operations that would block the primary from stepping down, such as an index build, a write operation or a map-reduce job.
Do you have some long running jobs on going? Check db. Check result of db.currentOp()
You can try to set longer stepping down time rs.stepDown(60, 360).
Quoting an answer from https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-27015:
This is most likely due to the fact that by default the shutdown command will only succeed on a primary if the secondaries are fully caught up at the exact moment that the shutdown command is executed.
I faced a similar issue and tried the db.shutdownServer() command several times, however it worked exactly when the secondary was 0 seconds behind the primary.

MongoDB SECONDARY becoming RECOVERING at nighttime

I am running a conventional MongoDB Replica Set consisting of 3 members (member1 in datacenter A, member2 and member3 in datacenter B).
member1 is the current PRIMARY and I am adding members 2 and 3 via rs.add(). They are performing their initial sync and become SECONDARY very soon. Everything is fine all day long and the replication delay of both members is 0 seconds until 2 AM at nighttime.
Now: Every night at 2 AM both members shift into the RECOVERING state and stop replication at all, which leads to a replication delay of hours when I am having a look into rs.printSlaveReplicationInfo() in the morning hours. At around 2 AM there are no massive inserts or maintenance tasks known to me.
I get the following log entries on the PRIMARY:
2015-10-09T01:59:38.914+0200 [initandlisten] connection accepted from 192.168.227.209:59905 #11954 (37 connections now open)

And, which is more interesting, I get the following log entries on both SECONDARYs:
2015-10-09T01:59:55.873+0200 [rsBackgroundSync] repl: old cursor isDead, will initiate a new one

2015-10-09T01:59:56.066+0200 [rsBackgroundSync] replSet RECOVERING
Which is also striking - the start of the oplog "resets" itself every night at around 2 AM:
configured oplog size: 990MB
log length start to end: 19485secs (5.41hrs)
oplog first event time: Fri Oct 09 2015 02:00:33 GMT+0200 (CEST)
oplog last event time: Fri Oct 09 2015 07:25:18 GMT+0200 (CEST)
now: Fri Oct 09 2015 07:25:26 GMT+0200 (CEST)
I am not sure if this is somehow correlated to the issue. I am also wondering that such a small delay (Oct 9 01:59:23 5617035b:17f <-> Oct 9 01:59:23 5617035b:1af) lets the members become stale.
Could this also be a server (VM host) time issue or is it something completely different? (Why is the first oplog event being "resetted" every night and not "shifting" to a timestamp like NOW minus 24 hrs?)
What can I do to investigate and to avoid?
Upping the oplog size should solve this (per our comments).

Couchbase: 20k items stuck in Tap Queue

We are currently evaluating couchbase as a memcached replacement in the first place. Our setup looks like this:
php -> localhost moxi -> couchbase bucket (Total bucket size = 10240 MB (2048 MB x 5 nodes with replica count 1))
The Servers have 16GB RAM and are SSD backed.
We were inserting at about 400 ops/s and had no problem for a few days. When we reached about 13 million items. We found out that we forgot to implement the delete function in our testsetup and a lot of keys had no expiration set.
To start over again we flushed the bucket through the webinterface. This where our problems began.
We started to see that we had temp ooms, back-offs, and tap queue was filled with 20k items. the drain and fill rate was nearly the same. See attached screenshot
What also catched our eye was that node 4 had only 220k items, where everyone else had around 1.39M
Somehow it looks like the replication messed up something, but im relatively new to couchbase. Any hints, suggestions? - See more at: http://www.couchbase.com/communities/q-and-a/20k-items-stuck-tap-queue#sthash.v9MxNnTk.dpuf
The problem was solved for a short time, after removing the failing node from the cluster.
So now with this four nodes left in the cluster, after some hours the same happend again with another node. We tried setting the now failing node into FailOver state. That fixed the problem again, but after Re-Adding the node, the same phenomenon happened again on that node.
Other things we realized are:
* Three out of four nodes have thousands of items in their TAP replication queue, but one
("the failing one") has 0.
* Also three out of four nodes have a back-off rate of around 400, but one ("the failing one") has 0.
* Only the failing one has a massive amount of "Temp OOMs per second", but the other three have 0.
The phenomenon seems to disappear, if we lower the load to the servers by disabling the couchbase-writes for one out of two software project writing to couchbase.
But if we enable the writes again, after around 10 minutes we can see this in the memcached.log on the failing node:

We have no clue what is happening here, why this failing node seems to reject every replication and throwing this error.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks for all your help and greetings from Cologne,
Andy!
Seeing as you just want to delete all items in the Bucket have you tried just deleting and re-creating the bucket?
This will be much faster than flush, as flush actually needs to send a delete request for every document in the bucket.
I can't find it in the docs at the moment, but I think Flush is not really recommended with the latest versions.
you are not writing what is your operating system. If it's Linux try to check maximum amount of open sockets for user running the Couchbase. Check the file /etc/security/limits.conf.
the command for check on Linux is: ulimit -Hn.
Hope that helps.
Daniel
I think you should try these settings:
