MongoDB Error 273: Producer Queue Depth Exceeded
Description
Error 273 indicates that an internal producer-consumer queue within MongoDB has exceeded its configured maximum depth. This typically occurs when a component is generating work items faster than the consumer component can process them, leading to a backlog that overflows the queue buffer and can impact performance or stability.
Error Message
Producer Consumer Queue Producer Queue Depth Exceeded
Known Causes
4 known causesExcessive Workload
MongoDB is experiencing a high volume of operations (e.g., writes, reads, replication tasks) that overwhelm the internal queue's processing capacity.
Resource Constraints
The MongoDB server lacks sufficient CPU, memory, or disk I/O resources to efficiently process the work items generated by internal components.
Slow Replication Apply
A secondary member in a replica set is falling behind in applying oplog entries, causing the primary's internal replication queue to overflow.
Inefficient Operations
Complex or unoptimized database operations, such as large aggregations or index builds, can generate a high volume of internal tasks, exceeding queue limits.
