Welcome Rick,
One of the pattern/usage of MongoDB given is for Logging. In our system, logs are scattered on various boxes. In middleware too,various components like Adapters,
java programs,webservices log to different locations. I belive MongoDB is the right choice for this kind of situation where logs can be consolidated. I wanted to know, if current applications are logging to files, how can that be changed to log to MongoDB ? We use proprietory software where default logging/exceptions are done to files.
Inbuilt gepspatial indexing is the main feature of MongoDB.Is there any advantage of using this over location based services provided by Microsoft/Yahoo! etc?
