在git找了幾個blog的源碼，在學習的過程中，發現有人使用Connection()，有人卻在使用MongoClient()，那么到底兩者有什么差別呢？
且看分析如下：
db = Connection('192.168.1.101', 27017).performance_test
#client = MongoClient('192.168.1.101', 27017)
#db = client.performance_test
db.drop_collection("updates")
collection = db.updates
collection.insert({"x": 1})
collection.find_one()
start = time.time()
for i in range(100000):
collection.update({}, {"$push" : {"x" : 1}})
...
運行結果：
>python test_mongo_conn.py
8.43799996376
>python test_mongo_client.py
62.5780000687
用Connection() 8秒，MongoClient()則花了62秒，這性能相差也太多了。
很是疑惑，於是查了pymongo的文檔，原來兩者有個選項的默認行為不同：
class pymongo.connection.Connection([host='localhost'[, port=27017[, max_pool_size=10[, network_timeout=None[, document_class=dict[, tz_aware=False[, **kwargs]]]]]]])
Write Concern options:
safe: Connection disables acknowledgement of write operations. Use safe=True to enable write acknowledgement.
w: (integer or string) If this is a replica set, write operations will block until they have been replicated to the specified number or tagged set of servers. w=<int> always includes the replica set primary (e.g. w=3 means write to the primary and wait until replicated to two secondaries). Implies safe=True.
wtimeout: (integer) Used in conjunction with w. Specify a value in milliseconds to control how long to wait for write propagation to complete. If replication does not complete in the given timeframe, a timeout exception is raised. Implies safe=True.
j: If True block until write operations have been committed to the journal. Ignored if the server is running without journaling. Implies safe=True.
fsync: If True force the database to fsync all files before returning. When used with j the server awaits the next group commit before returning. Implies safe=True.
safe選項決定操作是“瞬時完成”與“安全操作”，connection()默認是safe=False,即瞬時完成，不等服務器回應，而MongoClient()默認是safe=True，即安全操作，等服務器確認后才繼續下一步操作。
所以一個8秒，一個62秒，這個差距實際上是“瞬時完成”與“安全操作”兩者的性能差別。
當將Connection() 和MongoClient()建立連接時指定相同的safe參數，兩者的性能表現是一樣的。
client = MongoClient('192.168.1.101', 27017,safe=False)
#db = Connection('192.168.1.101', 27017,safe=False).performance_test
結論：Python用Connection()連接時，修改操作速度非常快，而用MongoClient()建立的連接，操作速度慢很多。
順便分享賬號密碼登錄的代碼：
from pymongo import MongoClient client = MongoClient('www.yeayee.com','27017') client.database.authenticate("user","password") db = client.database collection = db.collection
