Issue

NOTE: This is a clone of #9522 so that the update can go out in 7.x.x in addition to 8.

9523

Closes: 9523

Approach

As discussed in #9211, the decision was made to maintain a list of valid database options for the Parse config that can be passed to MongoDB. There are many options (46 in total) and this PR adds 3 more that I was using. This approach just follows the same approach used in #9213

Tasks

• Add tests

It seems that this PR is not a clone of the Parse Server 8 PR, as there are more options in this PR, is that correct, and if yes, why?

[pocketcolin]

@mtrezza because since the Parse Server 8 PR, I found 2 more Mongo settings that are important. Ideally, I think 8 wouldn't validate databaseOptions because there are just too many to maintain, but I'm happy to go back and create another PR for 8 that adds the 2 new ones.

These 2 new fields are really interesting and will help people migrate to Parse 7 as well. The tldr; is that the Node Mongo driver package released a breaking change in a minor release (v6.9) that switched the autoSelectFamily default value to true while it was previously false. Parse 7 updated the Mongo version from 4 to 6.12 so people upgrading to Parse 7 are going to be impacted by this change and without the databaseOption they'll be stuck with a new configuration.

There's a discussion about this here: https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/i-keep-getting-error-when-i-try-connecting-node-to-mongodb/243422/22?page=2

It would be great if you could add another PR for Parse Server 8 before we can merge this. The reason is that we aim to back-port identical code, to mitigate divergence in the branches, which would make them more difficult to maintain.

Looks good!

We'll merge this after Parse Server 8 release, so that it triggers a new Parse Server 7 release.
