      Mongo 3.2 release notes point out the change to use spidermonkey 

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/3.2-javascript/

      and link to the ES6 standard

      http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/index.html
       http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/index.html#sec-map-objects

      However, it appears that the Map object does not work properly in MongoDB shell. The object returned from the constructor looks like a minimal map type of thing that doesn't conform to the ES6 standard.

      mongos> m = new Map()
mongos> m = new Map(){ "_data" : { }, "put" : function(key, value) {    var o = this._get(key);    var old = o.value;    o.value = value;    return old;}, "get" : function(key) {    return this._get(key).value;}, "_get" : function(key) {    var h = Map.hash(key);    var a = this._data[h];    if (!a)

{        a = [];        this._data[h] = a;    }

    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {        if (friendlyEqual(key, a[i].key))

{            return a[i];        }

    }    var o = {key: key, value: null};    a.push(o);    return o;}, "values" : function() {    var all = [];    for (var k in this._data) {        this._data[k].forEach(function(z)

{            all.push(z.value);        }

);    }    return all;}}
