How do you analyze allPlansExecution in MongoDB explain output to evaluate index selection decisions?

❓ Interview Prompt: Explain explain("allPlansExecution"), analyzing candidate index trial runs, and understanding why specific indexes lost.

Analyzing 'explain("allPlansExecution")' displays performance stats for all candidate indexes evaluated by the query planner, revealing why non-selected indexes lost out.

Code Implementation Example

typescript
import { OrderModel } from './models/Order';

async function analyzeCandidatePlans() {
  const explainResult = await OrderModel.find({ status: 'PENDING' }).explain('allPlansExecution');
  console.log('Rejected Candidate Plans:', explainResult.executionStats.allPlansExecution);
}
💡Evaluating candidate query plans using explain('allPlansExecution').
🎯 Interview Key Takeaway

Use explain('allPlansExecution') to inspect candidate index trial metrics and resolve query planner index selection errors.
