1. I was trying for the options to see an option to set ReadPrefernce in OGM . However I didn't see an option to set the ReadPrefernces. Is this property available? If it is not available can information be provided as the when this will be available?
(Note: For write concern I could see the documentation on hibernate.ogm.mongodb.writeconcern)

2. Natively MongoDB allows setting the ReadPreferences and Write Concerns per request. In Hibernate OGM I saw only an option to set this while configuring the MongoDB settings. I don't expect it to be changed frequently, however some parts of our app may potentially use a different read preference/ write concerns. Is there a way to change this dynamically per request without affecting the whole configuration?

1) It is not possible at the moment to set the property. I've opened a JIRA for it: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM-420
(It is not so hard to solve it if you want to give it a go)

2) We are working on improving the options mechanism to set options but at the moment it is not possible to do what you are asking.
In the meanwhile you can try to create your own dialect copying the MongoDBDialect class and setting the properties you need when the updateTuple or updateAssociation methods are called.

Hope this help,
Davide

I created a new JIRA for setting the properties per request: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM-421

Thank you very much for the quick response with precise details to what I was looking it. I will look into the possibility of engaging in this and trying out the workaround you proposed.

It was great to see that it was in Jira already . I know it may be hard to provide details on when this would be worked on, but is it possible to get a ballpark, based on the current priority queue when is it realistic to expect someone to start working on this?

Hi,



Just to be sure, your case would be addressed by making it possible to set these properties to specific values per session, right? There will be support for this at some time (see https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM-343).



You basically can get started with implementing this whenever you like ;-)

Kidding aside, it would be awesome to get help on this and I believe this issue makes a good starter to dive a bit deeper into OGM. The basic infrastructure for the property mechanism is in place and if you decide to give it a try, I can help you with getting started and letting you know where to have a closer look.

Thanks for the reply. Missed replying to the question earlier. Yes, the session level setting mentioned in https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM-343 is what I was looking for.
