Suppose I have a timeseries mongodb collections, similar to the one proposed in the official website, with a structure that might look like:
[
{
"timestamp": 1,
"metadata": {"sensor": "A", "type": "temperature"},
"value": 18
},
{
"timestamp": 2,
"metadata": {"sensor": "A", "type": "temperature"},
"value": 20
},
{
"timestamp": 2,
"metadata": {"sensor": "B", "type": "humidity"},
"value": 30
},
{
"timestamp": 3,
"metadata": {"sensor": "B", "type": "humidity"},
"value": 40
}
]
Clearly, a sensor it's not going to change its type. So on the collection I would like a constraint that checks that a given sensor must have always the same type.
Is it possible to use this constrain on mongo db collection? With indexes I can check for uniqueness, so I was thinking there is something similar for this case, but I don't know if it can be done in a validator.
