# Driver Library Design
|
|
This document outlines the design for this package.
|
|
|
|
## Deployment, Server, and Connection
|
|
Acquiring a `Connection` from a `Server` selected from a `Deployment` enables sending and receiving
|
|
wire messages. A `Deployment` represents an set of MongoDB servers and a `Server` represents a
|
|
member of that set. These three types form the operation execution stack.
|
|
|
|
### Compression
|
|
Compression is handled by Connection type while uncompression is handled automatically by the
|
|
Operation type. This is done because the compressor to use for compressing a wire message is
|
|
chosen by the connection during handshake, while uncompression can be performed without this
|
|
information. This does make the design of compression non-symmetric, but it makes the design simpler
|
|
to implement and more consistent.
|
|
|
|
## Operation
|
|
The `Operation` type handles executing a series of commands using a `Deployment`. For most uses
|
|
`Operation` will only execute a single command, but the main use case for a series of commands is
|
|
batch split write commands, such as insert. The type itself is heavily documented, so reading the
|
|
code and comments together should provide an understanding of how the type works.
|
|
|
|
This type is not meant to be used directly by callers. Instead a wrapping type should be defined
|
|
using the IDL.
