I understand some of the reasons people didn't like Mongo, but this always vexed me. The default write level was very clearly documented and you could always change it as necessary. Surely it would be necessary to read the documentat

I use it to store a lot of historical time series data that doesn't change once written (at least, not often). I can easily achieve the write performance necessary to record the data streams live. Since it's all append-only, I don
