MongoDB中关于group的用法

最近在阅读《MongoDB权威指南》，http://book.douban.com/subject/6068947/，在看到聚合这一章的group部分时，范例程序在我的机器上运行的结果为空，因此我稍微研究了一下。

这本书上的MongoDB版本是1.6.0，我自己的机器是Ubuntu 12.04 x64，MongoDB版本是2.0.4。

下面是书上的测试数据：

db.stocks.insert({"day": "2010/10/03", "time": "2010/10/03 03:47:01 GMT-400", "price": 4.23});
db.stocks.insert({"day": "2010/10/04", "time": "2010/10/04 11:28:39 GMT-400", "price": 4.27});
db.stocks.insert({"day": "2010/10/03", "time": "2010/10/03 05:00:23 GMT-400", "price": 4.10});
db.stocks.insert({"day": "2010/10/06", "time": "2010/10/06 05:27:58 GMT-400", "price": 4.30});
db.stocks.insert({"day": "2010/10/04", "time": "2010/10/04 08:34:50 GMT-400", "price": 4.01});

书上关于group用法的程序代码：

db.runCommand({"group": {
    "ns": "stocks",
    "key": "day",
    "initial": {"time": 0},
    "$reduce": function(doc, prev) {
        if (doc.time > prev.time) {
            prev.price = doc.price;
            prev.time = doc.time;
        }
    }
}});

返回结果：

{
	"retval" : [
		{
			"time" : 0
		}
	],
	"count" : 5,
	"keys" : 1,
	"ok" : 1
}

我修改后的代码：

db.runCommand({"group": {
    "ns": "stocks",
    "key": {"day": true},
    "initial": {"time": "0"},
    "$reduce": function(doc, prev) {
        if (doc.time > prev.time) {
            prev.price = doc.price;
            prev.time = doc.time;
        }
    }
}}); 

返回结果：

{
	"retval" : [
		{
			"day" : "2010/10/03",
			"time" : "2010/10/03 05:00:23 GMT-400",
			"price" : 4.1
		},
		{
			"day" : "2010/10/04",
			"time" : "2010/10/04 11:28:39 GMT-400",
			"price" : 4.27
		},
		{
			"day" : "2010/10/06",
			"time" : "2010/10/06 05:27:58 GMT-400",
			"price" : 4.3
		}
	],
	"count" : 5,
	"keys" : 3,
	"ok" : 1
}

这里发生错误的关键在于“key”的值不能是字符串，而必须是一个对象；而“initial”的“time”应该是字符串而不能是整数。

如果不需要这么详细的返回结果的话，只需要用集合的group方法即可：

db.stocks.group({
    "key": {"day": true},
    "initial": {"time": "0"},
    "reduce": function(doc, prev) {
        if (doc.time > prev.time) {
            prev.price = doc.price;
            prev.time = doc.time;
        }
    },
    "condition": {"day": {"$gte": "2009/12/31"}}
});

返回结果：

[
	{
		"day" : "2010/10/03",
		"time" : "2010/10/03 05:00:23 GMT-400",
		"price" : 4.1
	},
	{
		"day" : "2010/10/04",
		"time" : "2010/10/04 11:28:39 GMT-400",
		"price" : 4.27
	},
	{
		"day" : "2010/10/06",
		"time" : "2010/10/06 05:27:58 GMT-400",
		"price" : 4.3
	}
]
