Extracted readCollectionOrArray(…) method and make sure it's used everywhere a Collection has to be read. Test cases now checks that empty collections are correctly read when using @PersistenceConstructor as well.
Use QueryMethod accessor methods instead of dropped Type enum to determine query execution. Added custom MongoParameters and MongoParameter to allow discovering a Distance parameter for repository queries which will transparently add a 'maxDistance' clause for *Near criterias in query methods. If the given Distance is equipped with a Metric we will rather use $nearSphere over $near.
Added asList() to Point class to circumvent bug in BasicBSONObject.equals(…) which breaks equals(…) comparisons of DBObjects in case they use arrays as values. See [0] for details. Adapted usage of Point objects to use asList() over asArray().

Introduced GeoResult value object as well as NearQuery. NearQuery allows definition of an origin and distances. Introduced a Metric interface and Metrics enum to carry commonly used metrics like kilometers and miles to ease the handling in NearQueries. Introduced Distance value object to capture distances in Metrics.
Added some defaulting code in MappingMongoConverter that converts DBObject instances into Maps in case the raw property type is Object (see getMoreConcreteTargetType()).
Replaced manual ID conversion with delegating to QueryMapper. Added ObjectId as Mongo native type to CustomConversions and added unit tests around its handling.
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.
