Class synopsis

Predefined Constants

MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern::LINEARIZABLE

A linearizable read avoids returning reads from a stale primary (one that has already been superseded by a new primary but doesn't know it yet). It is important to note that this read concern level does not by itself produce linearizable reads; they must be issued in conjunction with MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::MAJORITY writes to the same document(s) in order to be linearizable.

MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern::LOCAL

Queries using this read concern will return the node's most recent copy of the data. This provides no guarantee that the data has been written to a majority of the nodes (i.e. it may be rolled back). This is the default read concern for MongoDB.

MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern::MAJORITY

Queries using this read concern will return the node's most recent copy of the data confirmed as having been written to a majority of the nodes (i.e. the data cannot be rolled back).
