Hi Marco,
A schema less approach makes sense for this database, and looks good to me to have a module to use it without App-Schema mappings and static structure definition due to the dynamic nature of MongoDB.
I read your implementation plan and looks solid to me, I’m really interested on the new PropertyAccessor and how it will perform on performance metrics.
I have only one curiosity, will be an extension point available to add more WFS output formats in the future for this store?
Regards,
Fernando Mino

Subject [Geoserver-devel] New community module Schemaless MongoDB
Dear all,
I’m writing to ask authorization for a new community module, which will be able to provide MongoDB documents as complex features without the necessity to provide app-schema mappings and any fixed feature type upfront.
The plan is to create the feature type while building the features, and to use a custom PropertyAccessor to handle those situation where property names are evaluated against the schema.
The module will use the gt-mongodb plugin in order to be able to map filters to Mongo queries and to create a Mongo Cursor.
WMS will be supported while with respect to WFS only GeoJSON output format will be.
More details are available here.
Best regards,
Marco Volpini
