Okay so... To make MongoDB not suck for analytics, ETL it in a different format. For engineers trained in backed systems, this is pretty obvious. After reading this, I also don't know why I'd choose Pequot things over any other thing.

Baby's first ETL -- just scan the db with a cursor and analyze the data in a script -- tends to cover 90% of the use cases for BI db analytics with almost zero resource consumption anyway. Point being don't write a query to do analytics if your db can't answer your questions performantly, and don't build [latent, stale, slow] Enterprise ETL unless you really need it.




As someone who grew up around the home if the Pequot tribe, I'm amused by the choice made here by your input device's autocorrect feature.
