Mongodb-odm: Mongodb driver native support

[manuelbcd]

Hi. Sorry for repost. Do we have any new on mongodb driver native support?

I'm doing well with alcaeus mongo-php-adapter but it's up to 10x times slower than direct connection (tested with legacy mongoc driver vs mongodb driver + alcaeus adapter).

I think we have a huge room for improvement if we could evolve this feature. I have been reading comments from 2015 but changelogs still do not announce anything about this functionality.

Thanks in advance.

We're working on it and are hoping to release ODM 2.0 this year.

@alcaeus is the master branch using the native driver? We are about to start working on a new application just wondering if we should start with the master branch or not?

Yes.

just wondering if we should start with the master branch or not

I don't recommend it: there's lots of breakage coming your way. While it uses the new driver, we're going to break a lot of BC and some things are still broken. Until the first beta, you really shouldn't trust it to actually store your data.

Do you know the estimated time when would the final version be released?

Unfortunately, no. We're working on it, but there are a few changes that still need work, mainly GridFS.
