Mongolian Summary

Automatically maintain summary tables on Mongo collections

Mongolian Summary extends the Mongolian Deadbeef package such that any insert/update/remove call maintains a summary of the information in the table. This allows much easier min/max/sum operations on the collection as it is calculated during insertion.

Default Usage

mongo = require 'mongosum'
dbms = new mongo
db = dbms.db 'mydb'
coll = db.collection 'users'

coll.insert {name: 'Richard', age: 23}

New commands

// Get the summary of a collection
coll.getSummary(callback(err, summary))
 
 
// Force a full refresh of the summary (this is a heavy operation, do it rarely)
coll.rebuildSummary(callback(err, summary))
 
// Set the options for summarisation. These options are global to the Mongosum instance.
server.summaryOptions = {
    (see below)
}

Tracked information

At the collection level, the summary tracks:

  • _length: the total number of records that contributed to the summary.
  • _updated: the timestamp of the last insert/update/delete call.

On a column level, depending on type:

  • type: the constructor name of the last value. For example, "String" or "Number".
  • example: the last value set on this property. Not guaranteed to still exist in the database.
  • For numeric values:
    • sum: the sum of values in this property.
    • min: the minimum value in this property.
    • max: the maximum value in this property.

Options

Options are set globally on the Server.summaryOptions property.

The options should be an object with the following optional properties:

  • ignored_columns: an array of column names which mongosum should not summarise, such as _id.
  • ignored_collections: an array of collection names for which mongosum should not create summaries.
  • track_column(name, options): a (non-persisted) callback function that should return true if this column is to be tracked. The default implementation checks for the column in the ignored_columns option.
  • track_collection(name, options): a (non-persisted) callback function that should return true if this collection is to be tracked. The default implementation checks for the column in the ignored_collections option.
