使用pymongo进行清理和可重用的解决方案:

from pymongo import MongoClient
from bson import Code

def get_keys(db, collection):
    client = MongoClient()
    db = client[db]
    map = Code("function() { for (var key in this) { emit(key, null); } }")
    reduce = Code("function(key, stuff) { return null; }")
    result = db[collection].map_reduce(map, reduce, "myresults")
    return result.distinct('_id')

用法:

get_keys('dbname', 'collection')
>> ['key1', 'key2', ... ]

这对我来说很有效:

var arrayOfFieldNames = [];

var items = db.NAMECOLLECTION.find();

while(items.hasNext()) {
  var item = items.next();
  for(var index in item) {
    arrayOfFieldNames[index] = index;
   }
}

for (var index in arrayOfFieldNames) {
  print(index);
}

你可以用MapReduce来做:

mr = db.runCommand({
  "mapreduce" : "my_collection",
  "map" : function() {
    for (var key in this) { emit(key, null); }
  },
  "reduce" : function(key, stuff) { return null; }, 
  "out": "my_collection" + "_keys"
})

然后在结果集合上单独运行，以便找到所有的键:

db[mr.result].distinct("_id")
["foo", "bar", "baz", "_id", ...]

下面是用Python编写的示例: 这个示例内联返回结果。

from pymongo import MongoClient
from bson.code import Code

mapper = Code("""
    function() {
                  for (var key in this) { emit(key, null); }
               }
""")
reducer = Code("""
    function(key, stuff) { return null; }
""")

distinctThingFields = db.things.map_reduce(mapper, reducer
    , out = {'inline' : 1}
    , full_response = True)
## do something with distinctThingFields['results']

使用python。返回集合中所有顶级键的集合:

#Using pymongo and connection named 'db'

reduce(
    lambda all_keys, rec_keys: all_keys | set(rec_keys), 
    map(lambda d: d.keys(), db.things.find()), 
    set()
)

沿着@James Cropcho的回答，我找到了下面这个我觉得超级好用的方法。这是一个二进制工具，这正是我正在寻找的: mongoeye。

使用这个工具，大约花了2分钟从命令行导出我的模式。
