I am creating a project related to the blogs.
Let say I have a blog post and in that, I want to maintain comments and likes against a post.



How can I achieve it? I have created a collection of blog post and in the same, I have an array of comments. But if I think of long term, this might not be the best approach.



Can someone please suggest me the best way to maintain such activity?



And is it possible to index a non unique key in a schema?



Like if I want to create another collection for comments and likes, how to retrieve the comments against a blog? I can but without index it would be slow when data is too much.

    See stackoverflow.com/questions/5373198/…. And yes, indexes don't have to be unique.

  • Can you please give me an example of making index on a non unique key? db.items.createIndex( { “item" : 1 } ) ? shall it work if item has similar values in a collection?
