mongodb inMemory engine available in the community edition?

Question

I'm currently working with MongoDB 3.2.10 and I recently heard of the new "inMemory" engine. After some research I found that it was available in the Enterprise Edition since version 3.2.6, but I couldn't find any information on an eventual release in the community edition.

So the question is: do they plan to release the inMemory engine for the Community Edition? If they do, do we know when?

Answer 1

As at MongoDB 3.4, no plans have been announced to make the In Memory Storage Engine available in the MongoDB Community Edition. I suspect this is likely to remain as an Enterprise-only feature for the foreseeable future given the more niche use cases for in-memory storage, however the definitive source will be the mongodb.com website and any future major release announcements.

FYI, you can subscribe to driver/server release announcements via the mongodb-announce group.
