You can use MongoDB as both a source and destination for data. So yes, you can load data from HDFS into Mongo using the MongoDB Hadoop connector http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/tools/hadoop/

You can find examples in their github repository https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-hadoop/tree/master/examples
