Hi, I thought I'd see if any user or contributor to the MongoDB
datasource can answer this question.
The datasource is this one by ichikaway:
http://github.com/ichikaway/mongoDB-Datasource
The datasource strangely requires each model to define $_schema in the
class definition. I say strangely since being schema-less is one of
the main benefits of Mongo, Couch et.al.
It would be interesting to get some insight into what make this a
requirement to gauge wether it would be fruitful to try to find a way
past it. I can see that a lot of the Model class referencing $_schema
to for various reasons but I haven't looked into it in depth yet. I
ask before I spend countless hours trying to do something that might
almost end up as a rewrite of Model itself.
thankful for any insight you may have
