wish: Support Bulk() operations in Mongo 2.6

[markstos]

Mongo 2.6 has been released now, and adds new bulk operations.

While the mongoose create() function can insert multiple documents, they are done serially. Mongo has a new option for "unordered inserts" which has the ability to further speed up inserts:

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/Bulk/#Bulk

It would be nice if this was exposed in Mongoose.

Thanks for Mongoose! I'm using it regularly.

As far as I can see the inserts are done in parallel but still with individual queries, which is a really bad idea. Should support mongo bulk operation.

The old initializeUnorderedBulkOp() etc. "fluent bulk" operations are deprecated. The new API for bulk inserts is the insertMany() function. Mongoose has its own thin wrapper around insertMany() as of 4.4.0.

[levino]

Good stuff. Thanks for clarifying.

What about findAndUpdate() or something like updateMany()?

The insertMany() fails if one validation fails. Is there a way to continue anyhow? Matching errors back to which object in the passed array failed the verification would be even nicer.

[vkarpov15]

There's an ordered option for insertMany() that mongoose needs to properly support, see above issue.

[levino]

Just to clarify: So per default mongoose will continue on error, right?

[vkarpov15]

No, ordered is true by default and we don't currently have a mechanism for shutting it off, which is why we need #3893.

is this issue resolved? I need ordered option
