Description:
MySQL 8 has new protocol features for document stores (the X protocol) and support for storing and retrieving documents via this protocol.  While this is an excellent feature, porting an application from MongoDB to the MySQL document interface/protocol is not something that is straightforward or often even practical.  It would be very nice if MySQL supported the MongoDB protocol and converted MongoDB syntax into either SQL or MySQL document store semantics.

This would allow transparent porting of MongoDB applications to a 100% open source platform.  

How to repeat:
Try to connect MongoDB to MySQL 8.  It does not work.

Suggested fix:
Support the MongoDB protocol over the MySQL document interface.
