What about storing and retrieving documents that exceed the Mongo document size limit? :)
Pushing large documents through MongoDB might be a pretty bad idea. I donât find enough google search results to mongodb "zero-copyâ and there are no claims that GridFS is fast on the website, only easy. You might get much better results using a distributed files system (mogilefs?)
Handling large documents in a distributed environment is always pain. But there is no choice if you need it. Iâm not sure how bad GridFS is. On the other hand not one distributed filesystem I encountered in my career was close to be usable. I donât know MogileFs! But it is implemented in perl, so are you serious about it? :) Norbert
