Summary

Entire documentation page for the $mul operator in Amazon DocumentDB has been removed, including all examples and code samples

Security assessment

This change removes documentation for the $mul operator but does not provide any evidence of addressing a security vulnerability. The removal appears to be a documentation restructuring or deprecation of content rather than a security fix. No security warnings, CVEs, or vulnerability mentions are present in the removed content.

-# $mul
-
-The `$mul` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to multiply the value of a field by a specified number. This can be useful for updating multiple documents atomically and consistently, such as updating flight miles based on a credit card status.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `field`: The field to be multiplied.
-
-  * `multiplier`: The number to multiply the field value by.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-This example demonstrates how to use the `$mul` operator to double the `flight_miles` value for all documents where the `credit_card` field is `true`.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.miles.insertMany([
-      { "_id": 1, "member_since": new Date("1987-01-01"), "credit_card": false, "flight_miles": [1205, 2560, 880] },
-      { "_id": 2, "member_since": new Date("1982-01-01"), "credit_card": true, "flight_miles": [2410, 5120, 1780, 5560] },
-      { "_id": 3, "member_since": new Date("1999-01-01"), "credit_card": true, "flight_miles": [2410, 1760] }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.miles.update(
-      { "credit_card": { "$eq": true } },
-      { "$mul": { "flight_miles.$[]": NumberInt(2) } },
-      { "multi": true }
-    );
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 1, "member_since" : ISODate("1987-01-01T00:00:00Z"), "credit_card" : false, "flight_miles" : [ 1205, 2560, 880 ] }
-    { "_id" : 2, "member_since" : ISODate("1982-01-01T00:00:00Z"), "credit_card" : true, "flight_miles" : [ 4820, 10240, 3560, 11120 ] }
-    { "_id" : 3, "member_since" : ISODate("1999-01-01T00:00:00Z"), "credit_card" : true, "flight_miles" : [ 4820, 3520 ] }
-
-For the customers that have a credit card, their flight miles have been doubled.
-
-The `$[]` positional array operator is used to apply the `$mul` operation to each element in the `flight_miles` array.

-
-Node.js
-    
-    
-    
-    const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
-    
-    async function updateFlightMiles() {
-      const client = await MongoClient.connect('mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster-endpoint>:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false');
-      const db = client.db('test');
-      const collection = db.collection('miles');
-    
-      await collection.updateMany(
-        { credit_card: true },
-        { $mul: { 'flight_miles.$[]': 2 } }
-      );
-    
-      const documents = await collection.find().toArray();
-      console.log(documents);
-    
-      await client.close();
-    }
-    
-    updateFlightMiles();
