MongoDB Upsert

Hello,

I have nested BSON documents inside an array in the document. I would like to be able to add/update items without having to do so many queries to check if it exists. Is there an easier/more efficient way to do it? This is going to be done a few million times every hour.

Example structure

/* 0 */
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("5205344a405a280bf8f3b1c5"),
  "mykey" : 1000,
  "data" : [
    {
      "d" : 20130807
      ...
    }, 
    {
      "d" : 20130806
      ...
    }]
}

Example ------------------------

Dim query = New QueryDocument()
query.Add(New BsonElement("mykey" mykeyid))

Dim count As Integer = mongo_collection.Count(query)

If count > 0 Then

    Dim query2 = New QueryDocument()
    query2.Add(New BsonElement("mykey", mykeyid))
    query2.Add(New BsonElement("data.d", [date]))

    count = mongo_collection.Count(query2)

    If count > 0 Then
        mongo_collection.Update(query2, Update.Set("data.$", bson("data")(0)))
    Else
        mongo_collection.Update(query, Update.Push("data", bson("data")(0)))
    End If


Else
  mongo_collection.Insert(bson)
End If
