mongodb connection pooling

Question

I am using Java driver to access mongodb. I assume the db connection pooling is internally handled by the driver.But my connection count getting increased every time I access db.

This is my serverStatus log.

"connections" : {
            "current" : 276,
            "available" : 543
    }

Do I need to explicitly close mongo connections? how should I manage connection pooling in java?

Answer 1

For pooling you Should use a single MongoDB object otherwise for using multiple objects you have to call explicitly the close() command for each object.
