VERSION
    version v2.2.2

SYNOPSIS
        # get a Collection via the Database object
        $coll = $db->get_collection("people");

        # insert a document
        $coll->insert_one( { name => "John Doe", age => 42 } );

        # insert one or more documents
        $coll->insert_many( \@documents );

        # update a document
        $coll->update_one( { name => "John Doe" }, { '$inc' => { age => 1 } } );

        # find a single document
        $doc = $coll->find_one( { name => "John Doe" } )

        # Get a MongoDB::Cursor for a query
        $cursor = $coll->find( { age => 42 } );

        # Cursor iteration
        while ( my $doc = $cursor->next ) {
            ...
        }

DESCRIPTION
    This class models a MongoDB collection and provides an API for
    interacting with it.

    Generally, you never construct one of these directly with "new".
    Instead, you call "get_collection" on a MongoDB::Database object.

USAGE
  Error handling
    Unless otherwise explicitly documented, all methods throw exceptions if
    an error occurs. The error types are documented in MongoDB::Error.

    To catch and handle errors, the Try::Tiny and Safe::Isa modules are
    recommended:

        use Try::Tiny;
        use Safe::Isa; # provides $_isa

        try {
            $coll->insert_one( $doc )
        }
        catch {
            if ( $_->$_isa("MongoDB::DuplicateKeyError" ) {
                ...
            }
            else {
                ...
            }
        };

    To retry failures automatically, consider using Try::Tiny::Retry.

  Transactions
    To conduct operations in a transactions, get a MongoDB::ClientSession
    from "start_session" in MongoDB::MongoClient. Start the transaction on
    the session using "start_transaction" and pass the session as an option
    to all operations. Then call "commit_transaction" or "abort_transaction"
    on the session. See the MongoDB::ClientSession for options and usage
    details.

    For detailed instructions on using transactions with MongoDB, see the
    MongoDB manual page: Transactions
    <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/core/transactions>.

  Terminology
   Document
    A collection of key-value pairs. A Perl hash is a document. Array
    references with an even number of elements and Tie::IxHash objects may
    also be used as documents.

   Ordered document
    Many MongoDB::Collection method parameters or options require an ordered
    document: an ordered list of key/value pairs. Perl's hashes are not
    ordered and since Perl v5.18 are guaranteed to have random order.
    Therefore, when an ordered document is called for, you may use an array
    reference of pairs or a Tie::IxHash object. You may use a hash reference
    if there is only one key/value pair.

   Filter expression
    A filter expression provides the query criteria
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/query-documents/> to select a
    document for deletion. It must be an "Ordered document".

ATTRIBUTES
  database
    The MongoDB::Database representing the database that contains the
    collection.

  name
    The name of the collection.

  read_preference
    A MongoDB::ReadPreference object. It may be initialized with a string
    corresponding to one of the valid read preference modes or a hash
    reference that will be coerced into a new MongoDB::ReadPreference
    object. By default it will be inherited from a MongoDB::Database object.

  write_concern
    A MongoDB::WriteConcern object. It may be initialized with a hash
    reference that will be coerced into a new MongoDB::WriteConcern object.
    By default it will be inherited from a MongoDB::Database object.

  read_concern
    A MongoDB::ReadConcern object. May be initialized with a hash reference
    or a string that will be coerced into the level of read concern.

    By default it will be inherited from a MongoDB::Database object.

  max_time_ms
    Specifies the default maximum amount of time in milliseconds that the
    server should use for working on a query.

    Note: this will only be used for server versions 2.6 or greater, as that
    was when the $maxTimeMS meta-operator was introduced.

  bson_codec
    An object that provides the "encode_one" and "decode_one" methods, such
    as from BSON. It may be initialized with a hash reference that will be
    coerced into a new BSON object. By default it will be inherited from a
    MongoDB::Database object.

METHODS
  client
        $client = $coll->client;

    Returns the MongoDB::MongoClient object associated with this object.

  full_name
        $full_name = $coll->full_name;

    Returns the full name of the collection, including the namespace of the
    database it's in prefixed with a dot character. E.g. collection "foo" in
    database "test" would result in a "full_name" of "test.foo".

  indexes
        $indexes = $collection->indexes;

        $collection->indexes->create_one( [ x => 1 ], { unique => 1 } );
        $collection->indexes->drop_all;

    Returns a MongoDB::IndexView object for managing the indexes associated
    with the collection.

  clone
        $coll2 = $coll1->clone( write_concern => { w => 2 } );

    Constructs a copy of the original collection, but allows changing
    attributes in the copy.

  with_codec
        $coll2 = $coll1->with_codec( $new_codec );
        $coll2 = $coll1->with_codec( prefer_numeric => 1 );

    Constructs a copy of the original collection, but clones the
    "bson_codec". If given an object that does "encode_one" and
    "decode_one", it is equivalent to:

        $coll2 = $coll1->clone( bson_codec => $new_codec );

    If given a hash reference or a list of key/value pairs, it is equivalent
    to:

        $coll2 = $coll1->clone(
            bson_codec => $coll1->bson_codec->clone( @list )
        );

  insert_one
        $res = $coll->insert_one( $document );
        $res = $coll->insert_one( $document, $options );
        $id = $res->inserted_id;

    Inserts a single document into the database and returns a
    MongoDB::InsertOneResult or MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult object.

    If no "_id" field is present, one will be added when a document is
    serialized for the database without modifying the original document. The
    generated "_id" may be retrieved from the result object.

    An optional hash reference of options may be given.

    Valid options include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

  insert_many
        $res = $coll->insert_many( [ @documents ] );
        $res = $coll->insert_many( [ @documents ], { ordered => 0 } );

    Inserts each of the documents in an array reference into the database
    and returns a MongoDB::InsertManyResult or
    MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult. This is syntactic sugar for doing a
    MongoDB::BulkWrite operation.

    If no "_id" field is present, one will be added when a document is
    serialized for the database without modifying the original document. The
    generated "_id" may be retrieved from the result object.

    An optional hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "ordered" – when true, the server will halt insertions after the
        first error (if any). When false, all documents will be processed
        and any error will only be thrown after all insertions are
        attempted. The default is true.

    On MongoDB servers before version 2.6, "insert_many" bulk operations are
    emulated with individual inserts to capture error information. On 2.6 or
    later, this method will be significantly faster than individual
    "insert_one" calls.

  delete_one
        $res = $coll->delete_one( $filter );
        $res = $coll->delete_one( { _id => $id } );
        $res = $coll->delete_one( $filter, { collation => { locale => "en_US" } } );

    Deletes a single document that matches a filter expression and returns a
    MongoDB::DeleteResult or MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult object.

    A hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

  delete_many
        $res = $coll->delete_many( $filter );
        $res = $coll->delete_many( { name => "Larry" } );
        $res = $coll->delete_many( $filter, { collation => { locale => "en_US" } } );

    Deletes all documents that match a filter expression and returns a
    MongoDB::DeleteResult or MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult object.

    Valid options include:

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

  replace_one
        $res = $coll->replace_one( $filter, $replacement );
        $res = $coll->replace_one( $filter, $replacement, { upsert => 1 } );

    Replaces one document that matches a filter expression and returns a
    MongoDB::UpdateResult or MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult object.

    The replacement document must not have any field-update operators in it
    (e.g. $set).

    A hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "upsert" – defaults to false; if true, a new document will be added
        if one is not found

  update_one
        $res = $coll->update_one( $filter, $update );
        $res = $coll->update_one( $filter, $update, { upsert => 1 } );

    Updates one document that matches a filter expression and returns a
    MongoDB::UpdateResult or MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult object.

    The update document must have only field-update operators in it (e.g.
    $set).

    A hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "arrayFilters" - An array of filter documents that determines which
        array elements to modify for an update operation on an array field.
        Only available for MongoDB servers of version 3.6+.

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;

        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "upsert" – defaults to false; if true, a new document will be added
        if one is not found by taking the filter expression and applying the
        update document operations to it prior to insertion.

  update_many
        $res = $coll->update_many( $filter, $update );
        $res = $coll->update_many( $filter, $update, { upsert => 1 } );

    Updates one or more documents that match a filter expression and returns
    a MongoDB::UpdateResult or MongoDB::UnacknowledgedResult object.

    A hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "arrayFilters" - An array of filter documents that determines which
        array elements to modify for an update operation on an array field.
        Only available for MongoDB servers of version 3.6+.

        update document operations to it prior to insertion.

  find
        $cursor = $coll->find( $filter );
        $cursor = $coll->find( $filter, $options );

        $cursor = $coll->find({ i => { '$gt' => 42 } }, {limit => 20});

    Executes a query with a filter expression and returns a lazy
    "MongoDB::Cursor" object. (The query is not immediately issued to the
    server; see below for details.)

    The query can be customized using MongoDB::Cursor methods, or with an
    optional hash reference of options.

    Valid options include:

    *   "allowPartialResults" - get partial results from a mongos if some
        shards are down (instead of throwing an error).

    *   "batchSize" – the number of documents to return per batch.

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "comment" – attaches a comment to the query.

    *   "cursorType" – indicates the type of cursor to use. It must be one
        of three string values: 'non_tailable' (the default), 'tailable',
        and 'tailable_await'.

    *   "hint" – specify an index to use
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/count/#specify-the
        -index-to-use>; must be a string, array reference, hash reference or
        Tie::IxHash object.

    *   "limit" – the maximum number of documents to return.

    *   "max" – specify the exclusive upper bound for a specific index.

    *   "maxAwaitTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time for the server to wait
        on new documents to satisfy a tailable cursor query. This only
        applies to a "cursorType" of 'tailable_await'; the option is
        otherwise ignored. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 3.2.)

    *   "maxScan" – (DEPRECATED) maximum number of documents or index keys
        to scan.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time to allow the query to run.
        (Note, this will be ignored for servers before version 2.6.)

    *   "min" – specify the inclusive lower bound for a specific index.

    *   "modifiers" – (DEPRECATED) a hash reference of dollar-prefixed query
        modifiers
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/query-modifier/>
        modifying the output or behavior of a query. Top-level options will
        always take precedence over corresponding modifiers. Supported
        modifiers include $comment, $hint, $maxScan, $maxTimeMS, $max, $min,
        $orderby, $returnKey, $showDiskLoc, and $snapshot. Some options may
        not be supported by newer server versions.

    *   "noCursorTimeout" – if true, prevents the server from timing out a
        cursor after a period of inactivity.

    *   "projection" - a hash reference defining fields to return. See
        "limit fields to return
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-r
        esults/>" in the MongoDB documentation for details.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "returnKey" – Only return the index field or fields for the results
        of the query
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/meta/returnKey/>
        .

    *   "showRecordId" – modifies the output of a query by adding a field
        $recordId
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/cursor.showRecordI
        d/> that uniquely identifies a document in a collection.

    *   "skip" – the number of documents to skip before returning.

    *   "sort" – an ordered document defining the order in which to return
        matching documents. See the $orderby documentation
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/meta/orderby/>
        for examples.

    For more information, see the Read Operations Overview
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/read-operations-introduction/> in
    the MongoDB documentation.

    Note, a MongoDB::Cursor object holds the query and does not issue the
    query to the server until the result method is called on it or until an
    iterator method like next is called. Performance will be better directly
    on a MongoDB::QueryResult object:

        my $query_result = $coll->find( $filter )->result;

        while ( my $next = $query_result->next ) {
            ...
        }

  find_one
        $doc = $collection->find_one( $filter, $projection );
        $doc = $collection->find_one( $filter, $projection, $options );

    Executes a query with a filter expression and returns a single document.

    If a projection argument is provided, it must be a hash reference
    specifying fields to return. See Limit fields to return
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-resul
    ts/> in the MongoDB documentation for details.

    If only a filter is provided or if the projection document is an empty
    hash reference, all fields will be returned.

        my $doc = $collection->find_one( $filter );
        my $doc = $collection->find_one( $filter, {}, $options );

    A hash reference of options may be provided as a third argument. Valid
    keys include:

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "sort" – an ordered document defining the order in which to return
        matching documents. If $orderby also exists in the modifiers
        document, the sort field overwrites $orderby. See docs for $orderby
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/meta/orderby/>.

    See also core documentation on querying:
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/read/>.

  find_id
        $doc = $collection->find_id( $id );
        $doc = $collection->find_id( $id, $projection );
        $doc = $collection->find_id( $id, $projection, $options );

    Executes a query with a filter expression of "{ _id => $id }" and
    returns a single document.

    See the find_one documentation for details on the $projection and
    $options parameters.

    See also core documentation on querying:
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/read/>.

  find_one_and_delete
        $doc = $coll->find_one_and_delete( $filter );
        $doc = $coll->find_one_and_delete( $filter, $options );

    Given a filter expression, this deletes a document from the database and
    returns it as it appeared before it was deleted.

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

    *   "projection" - a hash reference defining fields to return. See
        "limit fields to return
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-r

        matching documents. See docs for $orderby
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/meta/orderby/>.

  find_one_and_replace
        $doc = $coll->find_one_and_replace( $filter, $replacement );
        $doc = $coll->find_one_and_replace( $filter, $replacement, $options );

    Given a filter expression and a replacement document, this replaces a
    document from the database and returns it as it was either right before
    or right after the replacement. The default is 'before'.

    The replacement document must not have any field-update operators in it
    (e.g. $set).

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.

    *   "returnDocument" – either the string 'before' or 'after', to
        indicate whether the returned document should be the one before or
        after replacement. The default is 'before'.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "sort" – an ordered document defining the order in which to return
        matching documents. See docs for $orderby
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/meta/orderby/>.

    *   "upsert" – defaults to false; if true, a new document will be added
        if one is not found

  find_one_and_update
        $doc = $coll->find_one_and_update( $filter, $update );
        $doc = $coll->find_one_and_update( $filter, $update, $options );

    Given a filter expression and a document of update operators, this
    updates a single document and returns it as it was either right before
    or right after the update. The default is 'before'.

    The update document must contain only field-update operators (e.g.
    $set).

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "arrayFilters" - An array of filter documents that determines which
        array elements to modify for an update operation on an array field.
        Only available for MongoDB servers of version 3.6+.

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

    *   "projection" - a hash reference defining fields to return. See
        "limit fields to return
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-r
        esults/>" in the MongoDB documentation for details.

    *   "returnDocument" – either the string 'before' or 'after', to
        indicate whether the returned document should be the one before or
        after replacement. The default is 'before'.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    *   "sort" – an ordered document defining the order in which to return
        matching documents. See docs for $orderby
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/meta/orderby/>.

    *   "upsert" – defaults to false; if true, a new document will be added
        if one is not found

  watch
    Watches for changes on this collection-

    Perform an aggregation with an implicit initial $changeStream stage and
    returns a MongoDB::ChangeStream result which can be used to iterate over
    the changes in the collection. This functionality is available since
    MongoDB 3.6.

        my $stream = $collection->watch();
        my $stream = $collection->watch( \@pipeline );
        my $stream = $collection->watch( \@pipeline, \%options );

        while (1) {

            # This inner loop will only run until no more changes are
            # available.
            while (my $change = $stream->next) {
                # process $change
            }
        }

    The returned stream will not block forever waiting for changes. If you
    want to respond to changes over a longer time use "maxAwaitTimeMS" and
    regularly call "next" in a loop.

    Note: Using this helper method is preferred to manually aggregating with
    a $changeStream stage, since it will automatically resume when the
    connection was terminated.

    The optional first argument must be an array-ref of aggregation pipeline
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-pipeline/> documents.
    Each pipeline document must be a hash reference. Not all pipeline stages
    are supported after $changeStream.

    The optional second argument is a hash reference with options:

    *   "fullDocument" - The fullDocument to pass as an option to the
        $changeStream stage. Allowed values: "default", "updateLookup".
        Defaults to "default". When set to "updateLookup", the change
        notification for partial updates will include both a delta
        describing the changes to the document, as well as a copy of the
        entire document that was changed from some time after the change
        occurred.

    *   "resumeAfter" - The logical starting point for this change stream.
        This value can be obtained from the "_id" field of a document
        returned by "next" in MongoDB::ChangeStream. Cannot be specified
        together with "startAtOperationTime"

    *   "maxAwaitTimeMS" - The maximum number of milliseconds for the server
        to wait before responding.

    *   "startAtOperationTime" - A BSON::Timestamp specifying at what point
        in time changes will start being watched. Cannot be specified
        together with "resumeAfter". Plain values will be coerced to
        BSON::Timestamp objects.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    See "aggregate" for more available options.

    See the manual section on Change Streams
    <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/changeStreams/> for general usage
    information on change streams.

    See the Change Streams specification
    <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/change-str
    eams.rst> for details on change streams.

  aggregate
        @pipeline = (
            { '$group' => { _id => '$state,' totalPop => { '$sum' => '$pop' } } },
            { '$match' => { totalPop => { '$gte' => 10 * 1000 * 1000 } } }
        );

        $result = $collection->aggregate( \@pipeline );
        $result = $collection->aggregate( \@pipeline, $options );

    Runs a query using the MongoDB 2.2+ aggregation framework and returns a
    MongoDB::QueryResult object.

    The first argument must be an array-ref of aggregation pipeline
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-pipeline/> documents.
    Each pipeline document must be a hash reference.

    Note: Some pipeline documents have ordered arguments, such as $sort. Be
    sure to provide these argument using Tie::IxHash. E.g.:

        { '$sort' => Tie::IxHash->new( age => -1, posts => 1 ) }

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "allowDiskUse" – if, true enables writing to temporary files.

    *   "batchSize" – the number of documents to return per batch.

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled.
        (Note, this will be ignored for servers before version 3.2.)

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "explain" – if true, return a single document with execution
        information.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

    *   "hint" - An index to use for this aggregation. (Only compatible with
        servers above version 3.6.) For more information, see the other
        aggregate options here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/aggregate/index.h
        tml>

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    Note MongoDB 2.6+ added the '$out' pipeline operator. If this operator
    is used to write aggregation results directly to a collection, an empty
    result will be returned. Create a new collection> object to query the
    generated result collection. When $out is used, the command is treated
    as a write operation and read preference is ignored.

    See Aggregation <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/aggregation/> in the
    MongoDB manual for more information on how to construct aggregation
    queries.

    Note The use of aggregation cursors is automatic based on your server
    version. However, if migrating a sharded cluster from MongoDB 2.4 to 2.6
    or later, you must upgrade your mongod servers first before your mongos
    routers or aggregation queries will fail. As a workaround, you may pass
    "cursor => undef" as an option.

  count_documents
        $count = $coll->count_documents( $filter );
        $count = $coll->count_documents( $filter, $options );

    Returns a count of documents matching a filter expression. To return a
    count of all documents, use an empty hash reference as the filter.

    NOTE: this may result in a scan of all documents in the collection. For
    a fast count of the total documents in a collection see
    "estimated_document_count" instead.

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "hint" – specify an index to use; must be a string, array reference,
        hash reference or Tie::IxHash object. (Requires server version 3.6
        or later.)

    *   "limit" – the maximum number of documents to count.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

    *   "skip" – the number of documents to skip before counting documents.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    NOTE: When upgrading from the deprecated "count" method, some legacy
    operators are not supported and must be replaced:

        +-------------+--------------------------------+
        | Legacy      | Modern Replacement             |
        +=============+================================+
        | $where      | $expr (Requires MongoDB 3.6+)  |
        +-------------+--------------------------------+
        | $near       | $geoWithin with $center        |
        +-------------+--------------------------------+
        | $nearSphere | $geoWithin with $centerSphere  |
        +-------------+--------------------------------+

  estimated_document_count
        $count = $coll->estimated_document_count();
        $count = $coll->estimated_document_count($options);

    Returns an estimated count of documents based on collection metadata.

    NOTE: this method does not support sessions or transactions.

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

  distinct
        $result = $coll->distinct( $fieldname );
        $result = $coll->distinct( $fieldname, $filter );
        $result = $coll->distinct( $fieldname, $filter, $options );

    Returns a MongoDB::QueryResult object that will provide distinct values
    for a specified field name.

    The query may be limited by an optional filter expression.

    A hash reference of options may be provided. Valid keys include:

    *   "collation" - a document defining the collation for this operation.
        See docs for the format of the collation document here:
        <https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/collation/>.

    *   "maxTimeMS" – the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to allow
        the command to run. (Note, this will be ignored for servers before
        version 2.6.)

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    See documentation for the distinct command
    <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/distinct/> for
    details.

  rename
        $newcollection = $collection->rename("mynewcollection");

    Renames the collection. If a collection already exists with the new
    collection name, this method will throw an exception.

    A hashref of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    It returns a new MongoDB::Collection object corresponding to the renamed
    collection.

  drop
        $collection->drop;

    Deletes a collection as well as all of its indexes.

  ordered_bulk
        $bulk = $coll->ordered_bulk;
        $bulk->insert_one( $doc1 );
        $bulk->insert_one( $doc2 );
        ...
        $result = $bulk->execute;

    Returns a MongoDB::BulkWrite object to group write operations into fewer
    network round-trips. This method creates an ordered operation, where
    operations halt after the first error. See MongoDB::BulkWrite for more
    details.

    The method "initialize_ordered_bulk_op" may be used as an alias.

    A hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

  unordered_bulk
    This method works just like "ordered_bulk" except that the order that
    operations are sent to the database is not guaranteed and errors do not
    halt processing. See MongoDB::BulkWrite for more details.

    The method "initialize_unordered_bulk_op" may be used as an alias.

    A hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

  bulk_write
        $res = $coll->bulk_write( [ @requests ], $options )

    This method provides syntactic sugar to construct and execute a bulk
    operation directly, without using "initialize_ordered_bulk" or
    "initialize_unordered_bulk" to generate a MongoDB::BulkWrite object and
    then calling methods on it. It returns a MongoDB::BulkWriteResponse
    object just like the MongoDB::BulkWrite execute method.

    The first argument must be an array reference of requests. Requests
    consist of pairs of a MongoDB::Collection write method name (e.g.
    "insert_one", "delete_many") and an array reference of arguments to the
    corresponding method name. They may be given as pairs, or as hash or
    array references:

        # pairs -- most efficient
        @requests = (
            insert_one  => [ { x => 1 } ],
            replace_one => [ { x => 1 }, { x => 4 } ],
            delete_one  => [ { x => 4 } ],
            update_many => [ { x => { '$gt' => 5 } }, { '$inc' => { x => 1 } } ],
        );

        # hash references
        @requests = (
            { insert_one  => [ { x => 1 } ] },
            { replace_one => [ { x => 1 }, { x => 4 } ] },
            { delete_one  => [ { x => 4 } ] },
            { update_many => [ { x => { '$gt' => 5 } }, { '$inc' => { x => 1 } } ] },
        );

        # array references
        @requests = (
            [ insert_one  => [ { x => 1 } ] ],
            [ replace_one => [ { x => 1 }, { x => 4 } ] ],
            [ delete_one  => [ { x => 4 } ] ],
            [ update_many => [ { x => { '$gt' => 5 } }, { '$inc' => { x => 1 } } ] ],
        );

    Valid method names include "insert_one", "insert_many", "delete_one",
    "delete_many" "replace_one", "update_one", "update_many".

    An optional hash reference of options may be provided.

    Valid options include:

    *   "bypassDocumentValidation" - skips document validation, if enabled;
        this is ignored for MongoDB servers older than version 3.2.

    *   "ordered" – when true, the bulk operation is executed like
        "initialize_ordered_bulk". When false, the bulk operation is
        executed like "initialize_unordered_bulk". The default is true.

    *   "session" - the session to use for these operations. If not
        supplied, will use an implicit session. For more information see
        MongoDB::ClientSession

    See MongoDB::BulkWrite for more details on bulk writes. Be advised that
    the legacy Bulk API method names differ slightly from
    MongoDB::Collection method names.
