[00:05:32] <mhenson> never mind my connundrum, the server finally shut down
[01:24:24] <at133> Hi, I have a simple map reduce function that I would like to sort by date. The mongo docs aren't really clear on it. When I use map_reduce(map, reduce, {:out => {:inline => true, :sort => ["hour", 1]}, :raw => true }) it doesn't change the result at all. Is this the correct usage to pre sort the keys?
[03:25:31] <dstorrs> do mongodump files compress at all?
[03:46:40] <ukd1> is anyone familiar with mongoid for ruby?
[05:05:09] <themiddleman> I am updating some code that atomically updates some properties on objects in a nested array using the $ positional operator. I am updating it to do multiple updates, is this possible with 1 query? Let me get you some code...
[08:58:08] <floydgreen> hi all, can anyone help me with a bugfix for mongoexport? The forum thread is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mongodb-user/ngu9U1lKMfk
[09:13:20] <floydgreen> i'm just building and manually testing my patch now, are there any unit tests for mongoexport?
[10:18:45] <rydgel> Do someone know what this means: http://pastebin.com/S05HVbzv (during a moveChunk)?
[10:56:30] <multiHYP> how are passwords in system.users saved?
[10:57:04] <multiHYP> if I want to retrieve it in my app what should do to the hash like content to get the original password?
[11:31:55] <McNulty__> I've got a MapReduce that touches all of the records in a large collection, what sort of impact will it have on other queries being run on that node?
[11:32:03] <McNulty__> Basically how much should I worry about it
[11:33:02] <floydgreen> I've just made a patch to fix a bug in mongoexport and created a pull request on github. Is this the best way to get a patch submitted?
[12:19:52] <Bartzy> Why Mongo refuses to sort on a big collection without an index on the sorted field ?
[12:20:09] <Bartzy> I mean, even if it's sorting only the first 20 (with limit), it still needs to sort through the whole collection to get those 20... isn't it ?
[12:20:19] <Bartzy> So why limiting non-indexed sorts helps anything ?
[16:02:25] <Bartzy> How can I remove a collection?
[16:02:39] <Bartzy> doing db.collection_name.remove() removes all the documents from it
[16:02:47] <Bartzy> but it show collections it still shows, that annoys me ;)
[16:02:50] <Bartzy> How can I remove it completely ?
[16:51:17] <falu> Anyone able to explain why I'm getting a generated _id instead of my own here: db.places.update({'_id': my_id}, {'loc': [lon, lat]}, upsert=True)
[16:53:32] <falu> On the other hand this works: db.places.update({'_id': my_id}, {'_id': my_id, 'loc': [lon, lat]}, upsert=True)
[17:41:31] <Bartzy> How do I run multiple commands on the mongo shell one after the other
[22:52:08] <brillopad> Looking to move to another type of DB for a project that I'm planning. At the moment, I'm using MySQL and need something that can drag figures out of a database really quickly.
[22:52:42] <brillopad> It's basically a dashboard system that will need to log a few figures against a set of 'agents' every day
[22:53:16] <brillopad> The dashboard needs to calculate some figures for groups of these people on a given date range. Does it sounds like Mongo might be the way to go or am I barking up the wrong tree?
[23:53:01] <vsmatck> The word "drag" indicates you haven't thought about this very much.
