I am trying to use the aggregations feature in RestHeart which is described here: https://restheart.org/docs/aggregations/
I am using it to filter and group stuff in my collection based on a input variable, like this.
https://.../_aggrs/test-pipeline?avars={"country":"DE"}
As the documentation states querying the aggregation does not yield the result directly, but I have to query the newly created collection. I found out that it also works to just query the aggregation endpoint twice. But in any case I have to make two requests to get the result.
I am now worried about concurrent users. If two users are querying the aggregation at the same time (with different avars), one might get the result of the other.
I am wondering why this is not mentioned anywhere. It seems to me that everybody should have this problem when using variables (avars) in an aggregation.
How can I solve this? Might transactions be the solution? https://restheart.org/docs/transactions/
I cannot try it right now, because my mongoDB is refusing to start a transaction. But would it even work?
Are there any other solutions?
Best regards, Tobi
