ObjectId is converted to a string.

[kshahbazk]

I am writing an application with this connector. What the application is doing is reading a collection in from MongoDB doing some analysis on the information, and writing it back into another collection. But since the ObjectID is converted to a string, it doesn't update the correct object and just creates a new object. Is there a way to retain the ObjectID without converting it to a string?

Hi @kshahbazk,

there is no way to do that at the moment but it seems an interesting feature for next releases. We also encourage you to participate in the implementation of this feature if you feel confident with the code.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi @kshahbazk, I faced the same issue and have a quick solution for this. But need to change the source code the Spark-MongoDB.

Hi, @joohnnie , could you explain your solution for the issue? Maybe I could help with the implementation.
