Eu fiz isso envolvendo o MapReduce em algum javascript armazenado.
function (query) {
var one = db.people.findOne(query);
var activity_ids = [];
for (var k in one.activities){
activity_ids.push(parseInt(k));
}
var activity_location_map = {};
db.activities.find({id : {$in : activity_ids}}).forEach(function(a){
activity_location_map[a.id] = a.location;
});
return db.people.mapReduce(
function map(){
for (var k in this.activities){
emit({location : activity_location_map[k]} , { total: this.activities[k] });
emit({location: activity_location_map[k]} , { total: this.activities[k] });
}
},
function reduce(key, values){
var reduced = {total: 0};
values.forEach(function(value){
reduced.total += value.total;
});
return reduced;
},
{out : {inline: true}, scope : { activity_location_map : activity_location_map }}
).results;
}
Irritante e confuso, mas funciona, e não consigo pensar em nada melhor.
