Feature
What is the current behavior?
Docs States that http://mongoosejs.com/docs/2.7.x/docs/embedded-documents.html You can embed a docs as an array . If one can embed a docs as json the retrieval will be faster as one doesn't has to iterate on the entire array , one can fetch data from the key .
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior?

Please mention your node.js, mongoose and MongoDB version.

As per my understanding after going through mongoose-embedded-docs

    var Comments = new Schema({
            title     : String
           , body      : String
           , date      : Date
    });

 
     var BlogPost = new Schema({
           author    : ObjectId
          , title     : String
          , body      : String
          , date      : Date
          , comments  : [Comments] // can't it be {Comments}  one doesn't have to iterate if its a json
                        // if someOne have to fetch a particular comment one has to itirate
                       // over the array , if its a json one can fetch it by its key  
          , meta      : {
          votes : Number
         , favs  : Number
      }
  });

   mongoose.model('BlogPost', BlogPost);

sorry I still don't understand what you're asking for? DO you want to store an array or a hash/object ?

Mongoose currently doesn't have support for schema types with arbitrary keys (maps, hashes, etc.), follow #681 for updates. Planning on adding that in Q1 2018.
