Summary


You are now well on your way to gaining insight from the MongoDB clickstream database using Instaview. In this chapter, we established a connection to MongoDB and parsed the events_sessions collection into a set of fields. This involved using the $unwind query operator to duplicate session information for each event array value. This result of this query operation was similar to the query results you would expect from a one-to-many join between two relational tables. We then used Analyzer to analyze the resulting data and create a stacked column chart. In the next chapter, we will continue working with Instaview to learn how to edit the metadata for additional metrics and analysis views.
