Is it possible to create an aggregation in Pymongo with no timeout for the cursor?

Question

The aggregation looks like:

res = Things.objects._collection.aggregate(pipeline,
            allowDiskUse=True,
            batchSize=101,
            noCurs         


        

Answer 1

You're correct, cursor timeout can't be disabled on individual aggregation cursors. But we've provided a global config setting, cursorTimeoutMillis, that you can increase to a large number:

mongod --setParameter cursorTimeoutMillis=600000  # 10 minutes

See SERVER-8188 for MongoDB version info, and how to set this parameter at runtime.
