Aggregations should allow an empty sort stage instead of returning an error
When you run an aggregation pipeline that contains an empty sort stage (like
{"$sort": {}}) MongoDB returns the error message "$sort stage must have at least one sort key". It would be really helpful if such a stage would work and simply not apply any sorting at all.For one this would be more consistent with a find operation (e.g.
db.runCommand({"find": "test", "sort": {}})ordb.test.find({}, {}, {"sort": {}})) which does not return an error but simply does not sort the results. More importantly it would also make it easier for developers and frameworks to dynamically generate the…1 vote -
Make $merge support DELETE operation
Currently, the
$mergeonly supports insert/update/upsert/merge behaviour. It would be great to support delete behaviour. A common use case would be in-place document deduplication/clean-up in a collection.1 vote -
Sorting support on Array fields.
Presently, I'm attempting to arrange(sort) the documents within my collection based on a key nested within an array object. However, sorting isn't functioning as expected in this scenario.
A proper explanation with example is here what I mean.

JSON
I'm converting a lot of data for export from MongoDB -> Postgresql
I would like an aggregation function to convert an object to JSON
{
"$addField": {
"_id": true,
"json": {
'$convert': {
'input': '$subdocument',
'to': 'json', # // Idealy, +1 for msgpack https://msgpack.org/
}
}
}
}thus object.json would be a STRING "{abc: true}"
FYI: Postgresql supports JSON(B) in it's field structures: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html

$group all fields
$group should have the ability to allow specifying all fields in a document (without explicitly defining them all, which can lead to duplicating dozens of lines just to do "key: $first")
This will help users that use $unwind and then want to $group the results without having to do a subsequent $lookup and $mergeObjects (or similar) to get the final document structure they're looking for.

Add SHA2, SHA3 and ECDSA functions to agg framework
It is very useful (and valuable security-wise) to be able to reverify hashes and signatures "on-engine" instead of dragging material out to a client app and running the algo there. The implementations are straightforward and everywhere now so it's not a huge lift for the backend. Example use:
aggregate([
{$match: whatever},
{$addFields: {
hashok: {$cond: [ {$eq: [ {$sha3: "path.to.struct"}, "path.to.stored.sha3"} ], 1, 0},
sigok: { $verify: { sig: "path.to.sig", pubkey: "path.to.pubkey", algo: "name of curve to use eg. SECP256k1}}
}
])
The digest function would operate on the raw BSON behind the scenes.1 vote -
Improve the mongo query language
Sometimes I find Mongo query language as not put very well together, sometimes it feels like a patch job. It would be nice, if you could make you query language easier to reason about. It would be awesome, if you could introduce fluent style api builder instead of building bson documents.

Add hash function (eg. md5) to aggregation pipeline
I would like to implement hash-based sharding in my own application on top of MongoDB. For that purpose, I would like to pull a stable pseudorandom subset of documents into each of my servers, and I would like to do so without enlarging the documents by adding additional fields, and without using JavaScript in the aggregation pipeline (for performance reasons).
The idea: add a hash function, such as md5, to aggregation pipelines. The function would accept an object/array containing the data to be hashed, and would return the hash, ideally as a number.

$dateDiff operator should be useful to calculate age
In the documentation it says: " For example, two dates that are 18 months apart would return 1 year difference instead of 1.5 years.". But if startDate is 2021-08-01 and endDate is 2023-02-01, the result is 2 years difference. I think it should be good if this operator could be used to calculate the age.

$currentDate option to only update if the document was modified
A common pattern in a data model is to have a field that denotes when the data was last modified. For this example, let this field be called "updated". I want to toggle a field on a document called "enabled", and if the value is modified I also want to update the "updated" field.
This behavior is possible right now via a comment shown in SERVER-42084, but ONLY if we include the entire document, which is not acceptable when you only want to modify a single field. This document could have other fields that are numeric and are updated atomically,…

Need an array query operator like elem match which matches all array nested object instead of at least one array element
as per documentation elem match query matches at least one match in array of nested object,
same we need a array query operator which returns the whole document only if elem match like criteria matches all elements in array of nested objects.
I have gone through usecase of $all with $elemMatch but it behaviour different it is like $and with $elemMatch instead excepted behaviour i am asking or excepting mentioned earlier.

Make redundant createView() a no-op
If I call createView() with params that match an existing view (in name and all other attributes), it returns an error. It'd be more convenient if the call simply succeeded without doing any work. The behavior I propose is analogous to the way that createIndex() behaves. With the current behavior my only choices are to (1) unconditionally drop and recreate the view, or (2) read the current view definition and see whether it matches the definition I want. The first choice is unacceptable because for a period of time (albeit a short one) the view won't exist and queries that…

Allow Dynamic Object In $project and $addFields
Assume I have a field mapping defined in some configuration collection of my application. And this field mapping varies for different clients on my application.
I would like to pass the dynamic object in my $project or $addFields stage
Like:
$project: {
{$arrayToObject: "$field_mapping"},
}{$arrayToObject: "$field_mapping"} would return something like
"email" : "$data.Email",
"phone" : "$data.Phone,
"firstname" : "$data.FirstName",
"lastname" : "$data.LastName",
"preferredchannel" : "$data.Channel",
"preferredlanguage" : "$data.LanguageCode",
"emailchannel" : "$data.Email",
"smschannel" : "$data.SMS",
"province" : "$data.CustomerState"1 vote -

Add a $sample accumulator operator
So that it's easier to sample a number of items from each group, instead of writing lengthy DSL like this:
Ideally it can be expressed like this:
{
$group: {
_id: '$year',
samples: { $sample: 100 },
}
}
Hence making sampling 100 items from each group a snap to achieve!

kNN Searches with MongoDB
Dear MongoDB team,
The possibility for kNN searches within a collection would be a real game changer. Not only in machine learning, but also in other areas you need this query method to find similar structures.
Practically, it could go in the same direction as text searches. So that you have to create an index that you can also query similarly and then sort according to the score.I speak from my own suffering, as I had to switch from MongoDB to Open-/Elasticsearch for my current project, as they are also non-relational databases but support kNN searches. However, I like…

Add option to $dayOfWeek to choose between Monday and Sunday
Hi!
I was wondering if you could add an optional parameter to $dayOfWeek that allows you to choose on which day you want the functionality to start counting.
Thanks!
