MongoDB ODM如何使用map / reduce按特定字段分组？

Question

I have a collection of documents that I want to query by a certain field called location , sort them by a pos field, and only return the highest value for each pos field.

So the query right now looks something like this:

$locations = array(1,2,3,4,5,6);

   $results = $this->dm->createQueryBuilder('\App\Document\Test')
        ->select('id', 'word', 'pos','change', 'title', 'coll_at', 'location')
        ->field('location')->in($locations)
        ->sort('location', 'asc')
        ->sort('pos', 'asc')
        ->getQuery()->execute();

But because there can be multiple entries for a specific location each with different pos , I then have to create a foreach loop to manipulate the data afterwards. In this scenario, I could take that shortcut just altering the data after it's returned, but I have other scenarios where it isn't efficient at all to do that. So I created this smaller scenario to try and figure out how to either use Doctrine ODM's group query, or even map & reduce it. Not sure the best way to. I see lots of examples of getting a running total, etc.

So how would I create a query to get the highest numerical value in the pos field for each specific location ? Knowing that there can be multiple documents with the same location but a different pos value. And on top of that, have all the fields for the selected record that I have listed above in the ->select()

Instead of grouping with Map Reduce you can group with:

• group() or in Doctrines case distinct : How to "Group By" with MongoDB
• the aggregation framework using $group : http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/aggregation/group/

Do note that I believe the default implementation of Doctrines distinct actually works on the old group() command for MongoDB which is basically an MR wrapped however:

That might work, however if not then you will need to use the aggregation framework, however in Doctrine this is a little harder since they don't seem to have a true helper that links into the rest of their framework for it: https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineMongoDBBundle/issues/165 so you must the command function to run it.

Edit

I am a bit of a Doctrine noob myself so this is taken from examples:

$connection = $this->get('doctrine_mongodb')->getConnection();
$mongo = $connection->getMongo();
if(!$mongo){
    $connection->connect();
    $mongo = $connection->getMongo();
}
$db = $mongo->selectDB('test_database');
$aggregate_results = $db ->command(array( 
            "aggregate" => "my_collection",
            "pipeline" => 
                array( 
                    array( '$group' => array( 'location' => '$location', 'pos' => array('$sum' => '$pos'))),
                    array( '$sort' => array( "pos" =>1 ) )
                )
        ));

This will run the aggregation for you, it won't be exactly what your looking for I don't think but play around with it.

In addition to Sammaye's answer. Doctrine ODM does support group queries:
