mongodb - How to change live date? -


i wonder, how change live data schema mongodb ?

for example if have "users" collection following document: 

var user = {     _id:123312,     name:"name",     age:12,     address:{         country:"",         city:"",         location:""     } };

now, in new version of application, if add new property "user" entity, let weight, tall or adult ( based on users year ), how change current live data not have adult property. read mapreduce , group aggregation command but, seem comfortable , suitable analytic operation or other calculations, or wrong.

so best way change current running data schema in mongodb ?

it depends upon programming language. mongodb @ having dynamic schema. think pattern of thought @ moment sql related whereby believe rows, if not yet have value, must have new field.

the reality quite different. rows have nothing meaningful put them not require field , can, in application, check see if returned document has value, if not can assume, in fixed sql schema, value null.

so 1 aspect mongodb shines, fact don't have apply new field entire schema on demand, instead can lazy fill data entered user.

so code field application , let user work you.

the best way add field write loop, in maybe console close or on primary of replica (if have one, otherwise on server), so:

db.users.find().foreach(function(doc){     doc.weight = '44 stone';     db.users.save(doc); });

that best way asking.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
