What is MongoDB?

MongoDB (from “humongous”) is a scalable, high-performance, open source, schema-free, document-oriented database. Written in C++. MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide structured schemas and powerful queries).

MongoDB is very interesting document-oriented database, because it has really awesome features:

  • Document-oriented storage (the simplicity and power of JSON-like data schemas)
  • Dynamic queries
  • Full index support, extending to inner-objects and embedded arrays
  • Query profiling
  • Fast, in-place updates
  • Efficient storage of binary data large objects (e.g. photos and videos)
  • Replication and fail-over support
  • Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability
  • MapReduce for complex aggregation
  • Commercial Support, Training, and Consulting

This guide uses EPEL-repository and Chris Lea’s Yum Repository where you can find MongoDB RPM packages (i386 and x86_64) for CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL).
