Option for set() or update() to replace the stored record with the sent record #46

Closed kahuang closed 6 years ago

Right now set/update will update the fields specified in the record in the request

It would be nice to have a feature/flag to replace the stored record entirely with the record in the request to mirror the mongodb behavior (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/#replace-a-document-entirely)

From my initial thinking this would fit better with set() (since we don't want to update N records to be identical to one sent, since we'd get pkey conflicts all over). I'll take a look at it this week. Right now the Set() is translating to an update under-the-hood, but it would just need to set the other fields (the ones not present in the API call) to nil.

perfect, mongo doesn't allow blanket updates() with doc replacement anyway so that'll bring feature parity for updates
