Is mongodump/mongorestore going to be in the mongodb-client or mongodb-server? How is this going to relate if we have to release a custom version of MongoDB (2.6 instead of 2.4). The only thing we actively use on a regular basis (AFAIK) is mongos and mongod. However, if we set up regular backup process, then we'll need one of mongodump or mongoexport (I don't know what the difference is between them). And obviously dump isn't very useful if you can't restore, though at the point you are restoring is a reasonable time to create new tools. I don't fully understand the difference from mongoexport vs mongodump (it looks like dump generates a binary snapshot compatible with restore, while export/import generate text representations of the data.) I'd *really* like us to stick with *one* of them as the recommended method for backing up the content. At which point, mongos, monogod and mongoexport/mongodump become critical for the regular operation of the system (assuming we set up backups as a regular process), and then mongo, mongoimport/mongorestore become tools that you install when you want to inspect/restore/probe/etc. If you're happier splitting them, I'm personally fine with that. I *am* a bit concerned about them being split and then we bump the version of juju-mongodb and then we end up without the corresponding tools available.
