Description

Hi,
I've started using mongodb processor and I realize that database is a required field even if specified in url field.

The same does not apply for username and password which can be specified in the url.

Having the database specified in the url only is useful if the url is coming from an ENV variable without the need to have a redundant additional variable with only the database name.

Research direction

Start at the MongoDB processor and trace how the required database field is validated against the URL. Confirm that a database supplied in the URL is accepted without a separate database value, while preserving the existing URL handling for username and password; verify the behavior with the processor's relevant tests.
