Map values are now handled correctly regardless of the actual Map value type declaration (can be Object in the most open case). We now handle collections as Map value types correctly. BasicDBList instances are now hinted to become Lists by default (if not typed to another collection type by the property).
Reduced visibility of MappingMongoConverter.addCustomTypeKeyIfNecessary(…) and made createCollectionDBObject(…) safe against null values for the TypeInformation.
BasicQuery accidentally shadowed limit and skip fields of Query and introduced setters instead of builder style mutators. This caused the getters not returning the values set throughout the mutators which essentially turned off pagination for manually defined queries.
Removed the shadowing and created test case. Refactored constructors.
Removed quite some obsolete methods from MongoConverter interface. Renamed maybeConvertObject(…) to convertToMongoType(…). Moved implementation of that method into MappingMongoConverter. Let the implementation transparently use custom Converters as well. Removed SimpleMongoConverter. Switched QueryMapper implementation from using a MongoConverter to use a ConversionService. Removed custom "maybe convert" logic from ConvertingParameterAccessor in favor of MongoWriter.convertToMongo(…).
Added converter to handle BigInteger values. Adapted id handling to try converting and object to String before taking the id as is. Made custom converter implementations safe against invocations with null.
Replaced hard coded List creation with delegate to Spring's CollectionFactory. Although the List should get converted before setting the value we can prevent that additional step by looking up the correct collection type upfront.
Unfortunately MongoDB can't handle BigDecimal instances by default thus we have to provide a default serialization. We do by simply serializing it into a String and reading it back. Can be customized to register a custom Converter with the MongoConverter.
Disabled index creation for repository query methods by default. Added property on MongoRepositoryFactoryBean to enable index creation and expose that via 'create-query-indexes' attribute on the namespace.
Changed the implementation of the exists(…) method to make sure the query is handed to the QueryMapper to convert the id appropriately before executing the query.
Entities can now use @Field annotation to define the order using the order attribute. We will simply start with the lower values and proceed to the higher ones. Unannotated properties are ordered behind all annotated (and order declared) ones. One might not assume any particular order for fields where the order is not manually defined.
Removed @FieldName as it is superseeded by @Field.
