Mongo DB / No duplicates

Question

I have have a mongo collection that keeps state records for devices. Thus, there could be multiple records per device. What I would like to do is create a query through the mongoTemplate that gets the latest record for each device.

Here's the constraints:

• Pass in a Set<'String'> name_ids, regular field within mongo collection not the _id or found within the _id
• get only the latest record for each device with matching name_id
• return List<'DeviceStateData'> (No duplicates should be found with the same name_id)

example of collection object:

{
  _id: "241324123412",
  name_id: "flyingMan",
  powerState:"ON",
  timeStamp: ISODate('')
}

Thanks
