Handling of NoSQL Java Collection objects for transaction purposes
All NoSQL "Collection" type objects are not classed as having code - i.e. they are codeless and are created via "getcollection" statements. As such, these objects either exist or do not and therefore NoSQL for Java extension does not compute a checksum on them. See https://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/3.4/driver/tutorials/databases-collections/ for more information. This means that in reality, if a transaction is really changed to add or remove a collection, then the java code itself is changed and so the transaction will be marked as modified. This in turn means that in an environment where the same release of a the NoSQL for Java extension is used for successive analyses, changes in java objects are enough to change the transaction values.
