$limit
Limits the number of documents passed to the next stage in the pipeline.限制传递到管道中下一阶段的文档数量。
The $limit stage has the following prototype form:$limit阶段具有以下原型形式：
{ $limit: <positive 64-bit integer> }
$limit takes a positive integer that specifies the maximum number of documents to pass along.采用正整数，指定要传递的最大文档数。
Starting in MongoDB 5.0, the 从MongoDB 5.0开始，$limit pipeline aggregation has a 64-bit integer limit. Values passed to the pipeline which exceed this limit will return a invalid argument error.$limit管道聚合具有64位整数限制。传递到管道的值超过此限制将返回无效参数错误。
$limitIf using the 如果将$limit stage with any of:$limit阶段与以下任何一项一起使用：
$sort aggregation stage,$sort聚合阶段，sort() method, orsort()方法，或sort field to the findAndModify command or the findAndModify() shell method,findAndModify命令或findAndModify()shell方法的sort字段，be sure to include at least one field in your sort that contains unique values, before passing results to the 在将结果传递到$limit stage.$limit阶段之前，请确保在排序中至少包含一个包含唯一值的字段。
Sorting on fields that contain duplicate values may return an inconsistent sort order for those duplicate fields over multiple executions, especially when the collection is actively receiving writes.对包含重复值的字段进行排序可能会在多次执行中返回这些重复字段的不一致排序顺序，特别是当集合正在主动接收写入时。
The easiest way to guarantee sort consistency is to include the 保证排序一致性的最简单方法是在排序查询中包含_id field in your sort query._id字段。
See the following for more information on each:有关每种类型的更多信息，请参阅以下内容：
Consider the following example:考虑以下示例：
db.article.aggregate([
{ $limit : 5 }
]);
This operation returns only the first 5 documents passed to it by the pipeline. 此操作仅返回管道传递给它的前5个文档。$limit has no effect on the content of the documents it passes.对其传递的文档的内容没有影响。
When a 当$sort precedes a $limit and there are no intervening stages that modify the number of documents, the optimizer can coalesce the $limit into the $sort. $sort在$limit之前，并且没有修改文档数量的中间阶段时，优化器可以将$limits合并到$sort中。This allows the 这允许$sort operation to only maintain the top n results as it progresses, where n is the specified limit, and ensures that MongoDB only needs to store n items in memory. $sort操作在进行过程中只维护前n个结果，其中n是指定的限制，并确保MongoDB只需要在内存中存储n个项。This optimization still applies when 当allowDiskUse is true and the n items exceed the aggregation memory limit.allowDiskUse为true且n项超过聚合内存限制时，此优化仍然适用。
