Description

Hi all,
I was wondering if current implementation of MongoDB output supports BSON types. It is current blocker for me as our schema in Mongo consists of:

  • "$numberLong": "1635427043550000000"
  • "$date": "2021-10-28T13:17:23.661Z"

and I don't see that it is supported yet. If you have any kind solution for that please let me know :)

Research direction

Start by locating the current MongoDB output implementation and checking how it handles the reported BSON representations for $numberLong and $date. Confirm the expected output format and add coverage for both types; done means MongoDB documents using these fields are emitted correctly.
