Export to mongodb

[PiotrCzapla]

Hello,

The jira-sync is an awesome idea, jira + spotlight is perfect combination so i will use it for my own needs. However I've found you project when i was looking for a way to export Jira to some other database that i can then connect with BIRT (Buisness Inteligence and Reporting Tool by eclipse) and use some data crunching to get meaningful reports out of JIRA, Harvest and GitHub commits.

Would you consider incorporating an export to MongoDB as an alternative to flat json files?
If so one from our team could provide you with a pull request.

Hi Piotr,

Using mongodb for reporting purposes is an excellent idea. You could even do that by importing the files into mongodb. I am more than happy to take a pull request. Such a patch would probably:

• Introduce a new parameter or interpretation of --target
• Add another implementation of the LocalRepository that talks to mongodb instead.
• Add an example to the readme, perhaps like this

    jira-sync \
        --baseurl https://jira.myorganisation.com \
        --project MYPROJ  \
        --user jira_user \
        --password jira_password \
        --target mongodb://mongo_user:mongo_password@mongohost:port/database \
        --collection tickets \
        fetch

What do you think?
