How would this be used with a non-relational database (e.g. MongoDB)?

Stapler migrations work great for relational databases, but what if we are implementing a non-relational database?

I am using MongoDB and implementing Stapler stores the avatar images in the user database like so:

"users": [
    {
        "_id" : ObjectId("541c513bb77859e203000002"),
        "avatar_file_name": "",
        "avatar_file_size": "",
        "avatar_content_type": "",
        "avatar_updated_at": ""
    }
]

This is not ideal. Here is an example of how it needs to be stored, the User table/collection is "users" and looks like this for storing the avatar:

"users": [
    {
        "_id" : ObjectId("541c513bb77859e203000002"),
        "meta": {
            "avatar": {
                "file_name": "",
                "file_size": "",
                "content_type": "",
                "updated_at": ""
            }
        }
    }
]

OR

"users": [
    {
        "_id" : ObjectId("541c513bb77859e203000002"),
        "meta": {
            "avatar": {
                "avatar_file_name": "",
                "avatar_file_size": "",
                "avatar_content_type": "",
                "avatar_updated_at": ""
            }
        }
    }
]

How would I do this?

I am using https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-MongoDB to add MongoDB support to Laravel.

We're not currently supporting MongoDB at this time.
