Based on the provided knowledge sources, I can offer some insights into how Airbyte handles reading and transferring data from MongoDB, though the information is not entirely comprehensive for your specific question. The MongoDB source connector in Airbyte uses a batching mechanism for reading data, but the exact behavior of transferring these batches is not explicitly stated in the given sources. However, we can infer some relevant information: 1. The MongoDB source utilizes Change Data Capture (CDC) for incremental syncs, which suggests that data is processed in smaller chunks rather than all at once. [MongoDB Source Documentation](
https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mongodb-v2#replication-methods) 2. For full refresh syncs, the connector uses checkpointing, which allows it to resume from the last known point if a sync job fails. This implies that data is processed and transferred in batches rather than waiting for the entire database to be read. [MongoDB Source Documentation](
https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mongodb-v2#replication-methods) 3. The connector implements "reliable replication of any collection size with checkpointing and chunking of data reads." This further supports the idea that data is processed and likely transferred in chunks. [MongoDB Quick Start](
https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mongodb-v2#mongo-db) While these points suggest that Airbyte processes and likely transfers data in batches as it reads from MongoDB, the knowledge sources do not provide explicit confirmation of whether each batch is transferred immediately upon reading or if multiple batches are accumulated before transfer. For a definitive answer on the exact behavior of batch transfers, you may need to consult more detailed technical documentation or reach out to Airbyte support for clarification.
