Dear sirs,
I’m writing to propose the removal of legacy json path for MongoDB since they are causing failings in latest version. The will involve the removal of the class ComplexMongoDBLegacyTest.java as well as all the code which uses or references the property org.geotools.data.mongodb.complex.useLegacyPaths.
Here the Jira ticket https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-9429.
Best regards,
Marco Volpini
Hi all,
I’m working whit Marco on this one, adding a bit of historical context:
When support for MongoDB was added in App-Schema (a few years ago) we always had to use the full JSON path, even when chaining features together.
After a few real use cases tests, while MongoDB was still in unsupported land, it become evident that always referencing the full JSON path was not a good idea:
… so the system was changed to allow relative paths to be used, so when chaining a feature the provided JSON paths will always assumed to be relative to the parent features [1].
The old full JSON path syntax was keep around just because it was already there, but has not be maintained and its pretty much broke, hence the mail from Marco proposing to remove it.
So if someone is against it, please let us know 
Kind regards,
Nuno Oliveira

Thanks for the background Nuno, I am not using this datastore presently and do not have any input. If we are really concerned we could reach out to the user list (or search who has asked questions about it recently).
Beyond that Stefano and myself are listed as geotools module maintainer for MongoDB. In my this case from my time at Boundless where I had access to a test environment. Perhaps this should updated if you are working with customers on this platform?
