activerecord for mongodb wrapper
# The basic idea is that we take the existing data via ActiveRecord
# and create new documents in MongoDB using MongoMapper.
# This method is necessary as we want to keep all the associations of existing dataset
# and by the way, clean up empty columns
# We rely on models still being ActiveRecord::Base, I bet you can figure out how the look like.
# And have the newer MongoDB ones here in a module, painful as we have to set the collection_name
# Don't put a +timestamps!+ into your MongoMapper models yet because this would change the updated_at if existing
# As you see in the MongoDB models, a few loose their indepence, e.g. Source as I
# plan to add other sources besides flickr, or Page and Album which only make sense in
# their parent Website
# Photo stays independed though I'm thinking about making copies into Album and Page
# as this would allow the user to change e.g. title or tags in his photos
# MongoStream is just some name as my app is called photostre.am
module MongoStream
class Photo
include MongoMapper::Document
@collection_name = 'photos'
# belongs_to :source
# has_and_belongs_to_many :websites
