Associations?

[pgr0ss]

We've followed two basic strategies for dealing with object hierarchies:

1. We "denormalize" object hierarchies into one document in the document store. So a Note attributes hash would contain sub-hashes of Comment hashes. This is conceptually simple and requires only one query to read the object hierarchy.
2. We have Repository objects use other Repositories to save associated objects. We generally do this when the objects are particularly large or unrelated. For example, we will store files that the user uploaded separately since they are large, binary objects.

I will write up some docs showing these use-cases. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Awesome! I look forward to those docs, particularly the 2nd one (as I do get the embedding approach and can understand how it would be done already).

Hi,

I´m also looking for some guides on how to get associations like has_many and belongs_to working.
Some docs on how to accomplish this would be fantastic! :)

My use case would be a user has a document, which in turn has many comments by other users.

Cheers,
Martin
