AWS documentdb documentation change

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

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/sample.md

Summary

Entire documentation page for the $sample aggregation stage in Amazon DocumentDB has been removed, including all examples and code samples.

Security assessment

The change removes an entire documentation page about the $sample aggregation operator. 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 feature documentation with code examples. The removal could be due to content reorganization, deprecation, or consolidation, but without explicit security context, it cannot be classified as security-related.

-# $sample
-
-The `$sample` aggregation stage in Amazon DocumentDB is used to randomly select a specified number of documents from a collection. This is useful for tasks such as data analysis, testing, and generating samples for further processing.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `size`: The number of documents to randomly select.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$sample` stage to randomly select two documents from the `temp` collection.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.temp.insertMany([
-      { "_id": 1, "temperature": 97.1, "humidity": 0.60, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 2, "temperature": 98.2, "humidity": 0.59, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 3, "temperature": 96.8, "humidity": 0.61, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 4, "temperature": 97.9, "humidity": 0.61, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 5, "temperature": 97.5, "humidity": 0.60, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 6, "temperature": 98.0, "humidity": 0.59, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 7, "temperature": 97.2, "humidity": 0.60, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 8, "temperature": 98.1, "humidity": 0.59, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 9, "temperature": 96.9, "humidity": 0.62, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") },
-      { "_id": 10, "temperature": 97.7, "humidity": 0.60, "timestamp": ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.temp.aggregate([
-       { $sample: { size: 2 } }
-    ])
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 4, "temperature" : 97.9, "humidity" : 0.61, "timestamp" : ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") }
-    { "_id" : 9, "temperature" : 96.9, "humidity" : 0.62, "timestamp" : ISODate("2019-03-21T21:17:22.425Z") }
-
-As the results show, 2 of the 10 documents were randomly sampled. You can now use these documents to determine an average or to perform min/max calculations.
