MongoDB has become one of the widely used NoSQL data stores now. The document-based storage provides high flexibility as well as complex query capabilities. Unlike in Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), there is no formal mechanism for the data design and query optimization for MongoDB. Hence, we have to rely on the information provided by the datastore and fine-tune the performance by ourselves. The query execution planner and the logger offers valuable information to achieve the goal of having optimal query performance in MongoDB.
