Is it possible to count records in a MongoDb collection using the GetMongo processor?

["Byers, Steven K (Steve) CTR USARMY MEDCOM JMLFDC (US)" <st...@mail.mil>]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to use the GetMongo processor to count the number of records in 
a collection that has a certain value for a field in the collection?

For example, how would I count the number of documents in the Names collection 
where firstName = Steve?

Thank you,

Right now the only way to do it would be to use RunMongoAggregation to do
the aggregation query that counts.
