Been playing with systems for some time now, all platforms, all tastes and languages.

Finding the right tool for the job is always the best part of a challenge, and seeing it work is amazing.

Figuring out how a complex system works, and how it should work is even better.

comment MongoDB Socket Exceptions when moving chunks
Glad to hear it. The file descriptors are mentioned further here: mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Too+Many+Open+Files If the question is no longer valid, please consider accepting an answer/closing the question. Thanks!

comment Mongodb in a single server then scaling
I'd suggest a minor edit to the answer: the only "special treatment" to the solo database server instance would to be to restart it in "replica set mode" and initiate a replica set config on it. Similar handling for sharding. Both are easy, and fairly well documented.

comment MongoDB: Fixing ReplicaSet Error on reconfig - “Server::doWork task:rs Manager exception:unauthorized db:local lock type:2 client”
As you have mentioned, this was a bug you found reported in the Jira ticket. It has been reported fixed in version 1.8.2 and later, as well as the more recent versions. Is this still a problem?
