      Recently, I started to investigate the performance of MongoDB with AIS Data. I used a collection with 19m documents with proper field types as described in the definition. I also created a new geoloc field with type: (Point) from coordinates (lon,lat) in this same collection.

      The query under investigation is:

      db.nari_dynamic.explain("executionStats").aggregate(
        [
          {
            $match: {
              geoloc: {
                $geoWithin: {
                  $geometry: {
                    type: "Polygon",
                    coordinates: [
                      [
                        [-5.0, 45.0],
                        [+0.0, 45.0],
                        [+0.0, 50.0],
                        [-5.0, 50.0],
                        [-5.0, 45.0],
                      ],
                    ],
                  },
                },
              },
            },
          },
      
          {
            $group: {
              _id: "$sourcemmsi",
              PointCount: { $sum: 1 },
      
              MinDatePoint: { $min: { date: "$t3" } },
              MaxDatePoint: { $max: { date: "$t3" } },
            },
          },
          { $sort: { _id: 1 } },
          { $limit: 100 },
          { $project: { _id: 1, PointCount: 1, MinDatePoint: 1, MaxDatePoint: 1 } },
        ],
        { explain: true }
      );
      

      During investigation and testing I found the following:

      {{}}

      1. Without any index: 94s
      2. With geoloc-2dsphere index: 280s

      Of course, I understand that is more complex as the query has a grouping function, but the idea is that usually, we will get something quicker and not slower with the index unless the index causes a different sorting inside the engine like near does.

      {{}}
