@alex That makes sense, but it can be ~fixed by just storing every field that you need.
@Walter Many of those things are missing from many nosql dbs yet they're used as source of data. As long as the backup is "point in time", meaning consistent timestamp across all shards it ~should be ok for many usecases. The 1-line-curl may need a patch to be disabled from config.
