Horizontal Scale MongoDB Replicaset

This guide will show you how to use KubeDB Ops-manager operator to scale the replicaset of a MongoDB database.

Before You Begin

At first, you need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using kind.
Install KubeDB Provisioner and Ops-manager operator in your cluster following the steps here.
You should be familiar with the following KubeDB concepts:

To keep everything isolated, we are going to use a separate namespace called demo throughout this tutorial.

$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created

Note: YAML files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/examples/mongodb directory of kubedb/docs repository.

Apply Horizontal Scaling on Replicaset

Here, we are going to deploy a MongoDB replicaset using a supported version by KubeDB operator. Then we are going to apply horizontal scaling on it.

Prepare MongoDB Replicaset Database

Now, we are going to deploy a MongoDB replicaset database with version 4.4.26.

Deploy MongoDB replicaset

In this section, we are going to deploy a MongoDB replicaset database. Then, in the next section we will scale the database using MongoDBOpsRequest CRD. Below is the YAML of the MongoDB CR that we are going to create,

apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1
kind: MongoDB
metadata:
  name: mg-replicaset
  namespace: demo
spec:
  version: "4.4.26"
  replicaSet: 
    name: "replicaset"
  replicas: 3
  storageType: Durable
  storage:
    storageClassName: "standard"
    accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: 1Gi

Let’s create the MongoDB CR we have shown above,

$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/examples/mongodb/scaling/mg-replicaset.yaml
mongodb.kubedb.com/mg-replicaset created

Now, wait until mg-replicaset has status Ready. i.e,

$ kubectl get mg -n demo
NAME            VERSION   STATUS    AGE
mg-replicaset   4.4.26     Ready     2m36s

Let’s check the number of replicas this database has from the MongoDB object, number of pods the petset have,

$ kubectl get mongodb -n demo mg-replicaset -o json | jq '.spec.replicas'
3

$ kubectl get sts -n demo mg-replicaset -o json | jq '.spec.replicas'
3

We can see from both command that the database has 3 replicas in the replicaset.

Also, we can verify the replicas of the replicaset from an internal mongodb command by execing into a replica.

First we need to get the username and password to connect to a mongodb instance,

$ kubectl get secrets -n demo mg-replicaset-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\username}' | base64 -d
root

$ kubectl get secrets -n demo mg-replicaset-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\password}' | base64 -d
nrKuxni0wDSMrgwy

Now let’s connect to a mongodb instance and run a mongodb internal command to check the number of replicas,

$ kubectl exec -n demo  mg-replicaset-0  -- mongo admin -u root -p nrKuxni0wDSMrgwy --eval "db.adminCommand( { replSetGetStatus : 1 } ).members" --quiet
[
	{
		"_id" : 0,
		"name" : "mg-replicaset-0.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"health" : 1,
		"state" : 1,
		"stateStr" : "PRIMARY",
		"uptime" : 171,
		"optime" : {
			"ts" : Timestamp(1614698544, 1),
			"t" : NumberLong(1)
		},
		"optimeDate" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:24Z"),

		"electionTime" : Timestamp(1614698393, 2),
		"electionDate" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:19:53Z"),
		"configVersion" : 3,
		"self" : true,
		"lastHeartbeatMessage" : ""
	},
	{
		"_id" : 1,
		"name" : "mg-replicaset-1.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"health" : 1,
		"state" : 2,
		"stateStr" : "SECONDARY",
		"uptime" : 128,
		"optime" : {
			"ts" : Timestamp(1614698544, 1),
			"t" : NumberLong(1)
		},
		"optimeDurable" : {
			"ts" : Timestamp(1614698544, 1),
			"t" : NumberLong(1)
		},
		"optimeDate" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:24Z"),
		"optimeDurableDate" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:24Z"),
		"lastHeartbeat" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:32.411Z"),
		"lastHeartbeatRecv" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:31.543Z"),
		"pingMs" : NumberLong(0),
		"lastHeartbeatMessage" : "",
		"syncingTo" : "mg-replicaset-0.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"syncSourceHost" : "mg-replicaset-0.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"syncSourceId" : 0,
		"infoMessage" : "",
		"configVersion" : 3
	},
	{
		"_id" : 2,
		"name" : "mg-replicaset-2.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"health" : 1,
		"state" : 2,
		"stateStr" : "SECONDARY",
		"uptime" : 83,
		"optime" : {
			"ts" : Timestamp(1614698544, 1),
			"t" : NumberLong(1)
		},
		"optimeDurable" : {
			"ts" : Timestamp(1614698544, 1),
			"t" : NumberLong(1)
		},
		"optimeDate" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:24Z"),
		"optimeDurableDate" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:24Z"),
		"lastHeartbeat" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:30.615Z"),
		"lastHeartbeatRecv" : ISODate("2021-03-02T15:22:31.543Z"),
		"pingMs" : NumberLong(0),
		"lastHeartbeatMessage" : "",
		"syncingTo" : "mg-replicaset-0.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"syncSourceHost" : "mg-replicaset-0.mg-replicaset-pods.demo.svc.cluster.local:27017",
		"syncSourceId" : 0,
		"infoMessage" : "",
		"configVersion" : 3
	}
]

We can see from the above output that the replicaset has 3 nodes.

We are now ready to apply the MongoDBOpsRequest CR to scale this database.

Scale Up Replicas

Here, we are going to scale up the replicas of the replicaset to meet the desired number of replicas after scaling.

Create MongoDBOpsRequest

In order to scale up the replicas of the replicaset of the database, we have to create a MongoDBOpsRequest CR with our desired replicas. Below is the YAML of the MongoDBOpsRequest CR that we are going to create,

apiVersion: ops.kubedb.com/v1alpha1
kind: MongoDBOpsRequest
metadata:
  name: mops-hscale-up-replicaset
  namespace: demo
spec:
  type: HorizontalScaling
  databaseRef:
    name: mg-replicaset
  horizontalScaling:
    replicas: 4

Here,

spec.databaseRef.name specifies that we are performing horizontal scaling operation on mops-hscale-up-replicaset database.
spec.type specifies that we are performing HorizontalScaling on our database.
spec.horizontalScaling.replicas specifies the desired replicas after scaling.

Let’s create the MongoDBOpsRequest CR we have shown above,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/examples/mongodb/scaling/horizontal-scaling/mops-hscale-up-replicaset.yaml
mongodbopsrequest.ops.kubedb.com/mops-hscale-up-replicaset created

Verify Replicaset replicas scaled up successfully

If everything goes well, KubeDB Ops-manager operator will update the replicas of MongoDB object and related PetSets and Pods.

Let’s wait for MongoDBOpsRequest to be Successful. Run the following command to watch MongoDBOpsRequest CR,

$ watch kubectl get mongodbopsrequest -n demo
Every 2.0s: kubectl get mongodbopsrequest -n demo
NAME                        TYPE                STATUS       AGE
mops-hscale-up-replicaset   HorizontalScaling   Successful   106s

We can see from the above output that the MongoDBOpsRequest has succeeded. If we describe the MongoDBOpsRequest we will get an overview of the steps that were followed to scale the database.

Now, we are going to verify the number of replicas this database has from the MongoDB object, number of pods the petset have,

$ kubectl get mongodb -n demo mg-replicaset -o json | jq '.spec.replicas'
4

$ kubectl get sts -n demo mg-replicaset -o json | jq '.spec.replicas'
4

Now let’s connect to a mongodb instance and run a mongodb internal command to check the number of replicas,

		"syncSourceId" : 0,
		"infoMessage" : "",
		"configVersion" : 4
	}
]

From all the above outputs we can see that the replicas of the replicaset is 4. That means we have successfully scaled up the replicas of the MongoDB replicaset.

Scale Down Replicas

Here, we are going to scale down the replicas of the replicaset to meet the desired number of replicas after scaling.

Create MongoDBOpsRequest

In order to scale down the replicas of the replicaset of the database, we have to create a MongoDBOpsRequest CR with our desired replicas. Below is the YAML of the MongoDBOpsRequest CR that we are going to create,

apiVersion: ops.kubedb.com/v1alpha1
kind: MongoDBOpsRequest
metadata:
  name: mops-hscale-down-replicaset
  namespace: demo
spec:
  type: HorizontalScaling
  databaseRef:
    name: mg-replicaset
  horizontalScaling:
    replicas: 3

Here,

spec.databaseRef.name specifies that we are performing horizontal scaling down operation on mops-hscale-down-replicaset database.
spec.type specifies that we are performing HorizontalScaling on our database.
spec.horizontalScaling.replicas specifies the desired replicas after scaling.

Let’s create the MongoDBOpsRequest CR we have shown above,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/examples/mongodb/scaling/horizontal-scaling/mops-hscale-down-replicaset.yaml
mongodbopsrequest.ops.kubedb.com/mops-hscale-down-replicaset created

Verify Replicaset replicas scaled down successfully

If everything goes well, KubeDB Ops-manager operator will update the replicas of MongoDB object and related PetSets and Pods.

Let’s wait for MongoDBOpsRequest to be Successful. Run the following command to watch MongoDBOpsRequest CR,

$ watch kubectl get mongodbopsrequest -n demo
Every 2.0s: kubectl get mongodbopsrequest -n demo

We can see from the above output that the MongoDBOpsRequest has succeeded. If we describe the MongoDBOpsRequest we will get an overview of the steps that were followed to scale the database.

Now, we are going to verify the number of replicas this database has from the MongoDB object, number of pods the petset have,

$ kubectl get mongodb -n demo mg-replicaset -o json | jq '.spec.replicas' 
3

$ kubectl get sts -n demo mg-replicaset -o json | jq '.spec.replicas'
3

Now let’s connect to a mongodb instance and run a mongodb internal command to check the number of replicas,

$ kubectl exec -n demo  mg-replicaset-0  -- mongo admin -u root -p nrKuxni0wDSMrgwy --eval "db.adminCommand( { replSetGetStatus : 1 } ).members" --quiet

]

From all the above outputs we can see that the replicas of the replicaset is 3. That means we have successfully scaled down the replicas of the MongoDB replicaset.
