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", ...]

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()
)

这一行将集合中的所有键提取到一个逗号分隔的排序字符串中:

db.<collection>.find().map((x) => Object.keys(x)).reduce((a, e) => {for (el of e) { if(!a.includes(el)) { a.push(el) }  }; return a}, []).sort((a, b) => a.toLowerCase() > b.toLowerCase()).join(", ")

这个查询的结果通常是这样的:

_class, _id, address, city, companyName, country, emailId, firstName, isAssigned, isLoggedIn, lastLoggedIn, lastName, location, mobile, printName, roleName, route, state, status, token

如果你的目标集合不是很大，你可以在mongo shell客户端下尝试:

var allKeys = {};

db.YOURCOLLECTION.find().forEach(function(doc){Object.keys(doc).forEach(function(key){allKeys[key]=1})});

allKeys;

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']

试试这个:

doc=db.thinks.findOne();
for (key in doc) print(key);
