MongoDB Database Administration

MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database that has become quite popular. In this article, I will show you how to perform various administrative tasks, after setting up a dummy collection that will be used as an example. You will learn how to create and drop collections, use indexes, and convert a MongoDB database from using the MMAPv1 storage engine to using WiredTiger. I will also talk about mtools, which is a convenient set of Python scripts for processing MongoDB log files.
