Mongodb with Python

MongoDB can store unstructured data that is fast and capable of retrieving large amounts of data over a small time. MongoDB uses a JSON format to store data in rows. Thus, any data without a common schema can be stored. We will be using MongoDB in the next few chapters because of its distributed nature. MongoDB has a fault tolerant distribution by shredding the data into multiple servers. MongoDB generates a primary key as you store data.
