MongoDB and v4

[Ibrahim Almahfooz]

Since the mongoc async driver still in the mongo-labs and we from my search
I don't see any estimated date for production release to the main mongodb
product.

Do you think using FRv4 with Cassandra as option-1 is a good alternative to
store every event start/interim/stops as a time-series? Or as option-2 we
use FRv3.2.8 with the detail module to store the accounting in files on
hourly bases then parse each file and store them in a MongoDB? TBH I prefer
to have FR directly write into a nosql db without having another service in
between.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks.
