 Future plans are to support optional logging and/or exception throwing based on WriteResult return value, common map-reduce operations, GridFS operations.  A simple API for partial document updates is also planned.
 
 * To simplify the creation of Data Repositories a generic Repository interface and base class is provided.  Furthermore, Spring will automatically create a Repository implementation for you that add implementations of finder methods you specify on an interface.  For example the Repository interface is
 
-     public interface Repository<T, ID extends Serializable> {
+    public interface Repository<T, ID extends Serializable> {
 
         T save(T entity);

 and there is a placeholder interface called MongoRepository that will in future add more Mongo specific methods.
