Mongodump reads each document in the view by default

      Hey,

      I created a view where some of the documents exceed "maximum document size". So when I run:

      mongodump -c=my-view -d=my-database
      

      I'm getting an error like:

      Failed: error counting my-database.my-view: Total size of documents in my-view matching { $match: { $and: [ { some_id: { $eq: "something" } }, {} ] } } exceeds maximum document size
      

      Why does mongodump iterates through each element in the view? Shouldn't it just create a metadata file as it described here https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-8633 ?

      Thanks
