Concurrent partial updates in Mongo collection

Consider the following mongo document

{
  _id:...
  param1:oldValue1
  param2:oldValue2 
}

Suppose if am trying to do two concurrent partial updates with the following queries:

db.collection.update(  { _id:...} , { $set: { param1 : "newValue1"  } }
db.collection.update(  { _id:...} , { $set: { param2 : "newValue2"  } }

Will I get the following docuemnt state in mongo after these concurrent partial updates:

{
  _id:...
  param1:newValue1
  param2:newValue2
}

Does two concurrent updates leave the document with updated values considering the fact that the concurrent updates dont have common fields.without concurrent modification issue?

Yes, regardless of the execution order of the two updates, the doc will end up as you show it. This is because the two atomic $set operations target distinct fields, and any field not referenced in the update isn't modified.
