    Description

      mongodump can output to stdout, but mongorestore appears to have no way to accept input from stdin. This makes it very difficult to pipe the output from mongodump to mongorestore to copy a collection from one server to another without writing the entire collection to a temporary file (potentially hundreds of GB).
