find longest string (longest tweet)? mongodb. -


i have database of tweets actual tweet text in field called "text".

it looks this:

 "_id" : objectid("519184ad34dfb73dcdfdda2f"),     "created_at" : "mon may 13 01:41:25 +0000 2013",     "id" : numberlong("333758850945667072"),     "id_str" : "333758850945667072",     "text" : "no quiero ir la. escuela", 

i wondering how query , show longest tweet? i've thinking maybe .sort or .length or i've looked around , haven't found that's worked far.

help! thanks!

if need perform longest-tweet extraction best approach keeping length of tweet separate field in document , having index on it. can fast queries .sort(-1).limit(1). can write own script importing json data mongodb (http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/) , add length field on import.

any alternative approach imply full collection scan in order find document maximum value of 'text.length'. resource-demanding operation , shall avoided unless effectiveness not concern.
