The upsert is a great feature but I would like to ability to choose a key instead of just assuming _id as the key. Should be able to choose a list of fields |

Sorry I just realized I did not specify mongoimport. |

Got it. You want to be able to specify the query part of the update for the upsert during the import. Makes perfect sense. I just couldn't tell this was for mongoimport. It would be good if it was a list of field names, not just one. |

I will be imported a tsv file daily and the tsv file has a field that I am using a key since the tsv will not have the _id when I recieve it. So I thought it would be good if you could pass a field name after --upsert as the key. --upsert uniquecolumn |

But _id is the key, what do you mean? What is the use case? |
