AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2026-03-28 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/group.md

Summary

Entire documentation page for the $group aggregation stage has been removed, including all examples, parameters, and code samples

Security assessment

This change removes general documentation about the $group aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB. There is no evidence in the diff that this removal is related to a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The removed content appears to be standard documentation about database aggregation functionality without any security-specific context. The change could impact users' ability to understand and use the $group operator, but this is a documentation removal rather than a security fix.

-# $group
-
-The `$group` aggregation stage in Amazon DocumentDB allows you to group documents by a specified expression and perform various accumulative operations on the grouped data. This can be useful for tasks such as calculating totals, averages, or other statistics based on the grouped data.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `_id`: Specifies the expression by which the input documents should be grouped. This can be a field name, a computed expression, or a combination of both.
-
-  * `accumulator expressions`: (optional) One or more accumulator expressions that should be applied to the grouped data. These expressions use the accumulator operators mentioned above.

-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example groups customers by their city and calculates the total order amount for each city.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.customers.insertMany([
-      { name: "John Doe", city: "New York", orders: [{ amount: 100 }, { amount: 200 }] },
-      { name: "Jane Smith", city: "Los Angeles", orders: [{ amount: 150 }, { amount: 300 }] },
-      { name: "Bob Johnson", city: "New York", orders: [{ amount: 75 }, { amount: 125 }] },
-      { name: "Samantha Lee", city: "Chicago", orders: [{ amount: 50 }, { amount: 100 }] }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.customers.aggregate([
-      {
-        $group: {
-          _id: "$city",
-          totalOrders: { $sum: { $sum: "$orders.amount" } }
-        }
-      }
-    ]);
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    [
-      { _id: 'Chicago', totalOrders: 150 },
-      { _id: 'Los Angeles', totalOrders: 450 },
-      { _id: 'New York', totalOrders: 500 }
-    ]
