The thing is, it's too late. When MongoDB was in its heyday, it got known as something that loses records. Not much you can do now when for every post affirming its consistency, there are two about how someone tested it and it failed consistency checks.

I'm not disagreeing with anybody else's test results. Just want to say that MongoDB has matured a lot and people should test out the newer versions to see how they fare.

Kind of in line with the article, I think that people should methodically check what works for them... particularly for something as serious as a database. It would be a shame if somebody decided against using something because they heard about an issue that has been fixed and/or improved in more recent versions.

> people should test out

Why should they, though? The fault here is on its management team. Users and clients lost their trust, for good reasons.

I never used MongoDB, but I know people that got in real trouble due to it.
