#MongoDB

Hi Guys,

The present version of the mongodb module uses the older mongo driver (mongo.so) with the new one being "mongodb.so".
This driver is expects php5.4+ and is backwards compatible to previous versions of mongo: https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/drivers/php/

With the release of php7 and mongo 3.2, I would like to propose that at least the 8.x branch be coded to use this driver. What's the best way to go about it? More importantly, what's the community's appetite for it? I have a background in programming (but am VERY rusty). I can help in any way you guys need.

Thoughts?

With D8 I would love to see some cold hard stats benchmarks comparing mysql and mongodb storage backends for various profiles, eg vanilla D8, D8 with x content types and x nodes, or Drupal Commerce and Drupal Commons installs.

I have read some benchmarks on other mysql and mongodb projects, and I became uncertain if mongodb is really all that necessary.

I have read in many comparisons
