根据mongoldb文档，一个不同的组合

在单个集合或视图中查找指定字段的不同值，并以数组形式返回结果。

索引集合操作将返回给定键或索引的所有可能值:

返回一个数组，其中包含标识和描述集合上现有索引的文档列表

所以在一个给定的方法中，你可以使用下面的方法，为了查询一个集合中所有注册的索引，并返回一个对象，比如一个键的索引(这个例子使用async/await用于NodeJS，但显然你可以使用任何其他异步方法):

async function GetFor(collection, index) {

    let currentIndexes;
    let indexNames = [];
    let final = {};
    let vals = [];

    try {
        currentIndexes = await collection.indexes();
        await ParseIndexes();
        //Check if a specific index was queried, otherwise, iterate for all existing indexes
        if (index && typeof index === "string") return await ParseFor(index, indexNames);
        await ParseDoc(indexNames);
        await Promise.all(vals);
        return final;
    } catch (e) {
        throw e;
    }

    function ParseIndexes() {
        return new Promise(function (result) {
            let err;
            for (let ind in currentIndexes) {
                let index = currentIndexes[ind];
                if (!index) {
                    err = "No Key For Index "+index; break;
                }
                let Name = Object.keys(index.key);
                if (Name.length === 0) {
                    err = "No Name For Index"; break;
                }
                indexNames.push(Name[0]);
            }
            return result(err ? Promise.reject(err) : Promise.resolve());
        })
    }

    async function ParseFor(index, inDoc) {
        if (inDoc.indexOf(index) === -1) throw "No Such Index In Collection";
        try {
            await DistinctFor(index);
            return final;
        } catch (e) {
            throw e
        }
    }
    function ParseDoc(doc) {
        return new Promise(function (result) {
            let err;
            for (let index in doc) {
                let key = doc[index];
                if (!key) {
                    err = "No Key For Index "+index; break;
                }
                vals.push(new Promise(function (pushed) {
                    DistinctFor(key)
                        .then(pushed)
                        .catch(function (err) {
                            return pushed(Promise.resolve());
                        })
                }))
            }
            return result(err ? Promise.reject(err) : Promise.resolve());
        })
    }

    async function DistinctFor(key) {
        if (!key) throw "Key Is Undefined";
        try {
            final[key] = await collection.distinct(key);
        } catch (e) {
            final[key] = 'failed';
            throw e;
        }
    }
}

因此，使用基本_id索引查询一个集合，将返回以下内容(测试集合在测试时只有一个文档):

Mongo.MongoClient.connect(url, function (err, client) {
    assert.equal(null, err);

    let collection = client.db('my db').collection('the targeted collection');

    GetFor(collection, '_id')
        .then(function () {
            //returns
            // { _id: [ 5ae901e77e322342de1fb701 ] }
        })
        .catch(function (err) {
            //manage your error..
        })
});

注意，这使用了NodeJS Driver原生的方法。正如其他一些答案所建议的那样，还有其他方法，例如聚合框架。我个人认为这种方法更灵活，因为您可以轻松地创建和微调如何返回结果。显然，这只处理顶级属性，而不是嵌套属性。 此外，为了保证所有文档都被表示，如果有二级索引(除了主_id索引)，这些索引应该根据需要设置。

我认为这里提到的最好的方法是在mongod 3.4.4+中，但不使用$unwind操作符，只使用管道中的两个阶段。相反，我们可以使用$mergeObjects和$objectToArray操作符。

在$group阶段，我们使用$mergeObjects操作符返回一个文档，其中键/值来自集合中的所有文档。

然后是$project，我们使用$map和$objectToArray返回键。

let allTopLevelKeys =  [
    {
        "$group": {
            "_id": null,
            "array": {
                "$mergeObjects": "$$ROOT"
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "$project": {
            "keys": {
                "$map": {
                    "input": { "$objectToArray": "$array" },
                    "in": "$$this.k"
                }
            }
        }
    }
];

现在，如果我们有一个嵌套的文档，想要获得键，这是可行的。为了简单起见，让我们考虑一个包含简单嵌入式文档的文档，它看起来像这样:

{field1: {field2: "abc"}, field3: "def"}
{field1: {field3: "abc"}, field4: "def"}

下面的管道会生成所有的键(field1, field2, field3, field4)。

let allFistSecondLevelKeys = [
    {
        "$group": {
            "_id": null,
            "array": {
                "$mergeObjects": "$$ROOT"
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "$project": {
            "keys": {
                "$setUnion": [
                    {
                        "$map": {
                            "input": {
                                "$reduce": {
                                    "input": {
                                        "$map": {
                                            "input": {
                                                "$objectToArray": "$array"
                                            },
                                            "in": {
                                                "$cond": [
                                                    {
                                                        "$eq": [
                                                            {
                                                                "$type": "$$this.v"
                                                            },
                                                            "object"
                                                        ]
                                                    },
                                                    {
                                                        "$objectToArray": "$$this.v"
                                                    },
                                                    [
                                                        "$$this"
                                                    ]
                                                ]
                                            }
                                        }
                                    },
                                    "initialValue": [

                                    ],
                                    "in": {
                                        "$concatArrays": [
                                            "$$this",
                                            "$$value"
                                        ]
                                    }
                                }
                            },
                            "in": "$$this.k"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
]

只需稍加努力，我们就可以获得数组字段中所有子文档的键，其中元素也是object。

你可以用MapReduce来做:

mr = db.runCommand({
  "mapreduce" : "my_collection",
  "map" : function() {
    for (var key in this) { emit(key, null); }
  },
  "reduce" : function(key, stuff) { return null; }, 
  "out": "my_collection" + "_keys"
})

然后在结果集合上单独运行，以便找到所有的键:

db[mr.result].distinct("_id")
["foo", "bar", "baz", "_id", ...]

基于@Wolkenarchitekt的回答:https://stackoverflow.com/a/48117846/8808983，我写了一个脚本，可以在db中找到所有键的模式，我认为它可以帮助其他人阅读这个线程:

试试这个:

for (key in doc) print(key);

如果你的目标集合不是很大，你可以在mongo shell客户端下尝试:

var allKeys = {};

db.YOURCOLLECTION.find().forEach(function(doc){Object.keys(doc).forEach(function(key){allKeys[key]=1})});

allKeys;
