      Hello Mongo!!
      while I use mongoimport to insert data , I found that some data's type have been changed automatically.

      the string "0004" --changed to------> INT 4

      questions:
      1.is there some mechanism of mongodb cause this?
      2.do we have some action plan to avoid this happen?
      since my original data is a string,which represent someone's ID
      the changes totally destory change our data

      [mongo@mongos3 ~]$ cat MONGO.csv
      "ID","DAY"
      "0004","2016-08-24 10:55:44"
      "1004","2016-08-24 11:50:28"

      MongoDB Enterprise mongos> db.mongo.find().forEach(function{if({"ID":{$type:16}}){count++}});
      print(count);
      MongoDB Enterprise mongos> print(count);
      2

      MongoDB Enterprise mongos> db.mongo.find().pretty()

      { "_id" : ObjectId("57bd4687ff3116d554692267"), "ID" : 4, "DAY" : "2016-08-24 10:55:44" } { "_id" : ObjectId("57bd4687ff3116d554692268"), "ID" : 1004, "DAY" : "2016-08-24 11:50:28" }
