Description
I'm trying to insert documents in bulk, I have created a unique index in my collection and want to skip documents which are duplicate while doing bulk insertion. This can be accomplished with native mongodb function:
db.collection.insert(
<document or array of documents>,
{
ordered: false
}
)
How can I achieve this in mongoengine?
