benzittlau / Mongoid Hierarchy Excerpt

Created May 4, 2011 21:45

Why you have to be careful using versions in Mongoid

	Mongoid/Hierarchy

	# Get all child +Documents+ to this +Document+, going n levels deep if
	# necessary. This is used when calling update persistence operations from
	# the root document, where changes in the entire tree need to be
	# determined. Note that persistence from the embedded documents will
	# always be preferred, since they are optimized calls... This operation
	# can get expensive in domains with large hierarchies.
	#
	# @example Get all the document's children.
