Configure CRUD Operations

Retryable Reads and Writes

The Go driver automatically retries certain read and write operations a single time if they fail due to a network or server error.

You can explicitly disable retryable reads or retryable writes by setting the RetryReads or RetryWrites option to False when creating a new client by using the options.Client struct.

The following example disables retryable reads and writes for a client by using the ClientOptions setter functions:

// Defines the client options
clientOps := options.Client().
	ApplyURI(uri).
	SetRetryWrites(false).
	SetRetryReads(false)
// Creates a new client using the specified options
client, err := mongo.Connect(clientOps)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
