Leading the collection name with a number (twitter id) is problematic when using the mongo shell. So the following: '{0}-follower_ids'.format(fid))
should be changed to something like: 'followerids{0}'.format(fid))
Also the period should be changed to an underscore, or removed. Failing to do either leads to one of two errors:
config:[mongodb followers_crawl] > db.164237500-follower-ids.find() 2015-08-10T10:46:23.798-0500 E QUERY SyntaxError: Unexpected number config:[mongodb followers_crawl] > db.164237500_follower_ids.find() 2015-08-10T10:46:50.516-0500 E QUERY SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL config:[mongodb followers_crawl] > db.followerids.164237500.find() 2015-08-10T10:49:16.215-0500 E QUERY SyntaxError: Unexpected number
If a collection is inappropriately named, then the workaround is: config:[mongodb followers_crawl] > db['164237500-follower-ids'].find()
But it can be preferable to start over and drop the collection: config:[mongodb followers_crawl] > db['164237500-follower-ids'].drop()
Finally, this syntax works:
config:[mongodb followers_crawl] > db.follower_ids_164237500.find()
Have not yet tried to see if the pymongo driver has an issue with retrieving a name with one of these issues.
