the group aggregate field 'From' must be defined as an expression inside an object
<p>I have a collection messages in database enron.</p>

<p>To show the collection structure I use this command. </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>db.messages.findOne()</p>

<p>I need to get a result of pairs 'from' and 'to'. To do that I use aggregate command. First of all I use <code>{"$unwind": "$headers.To"}</code> to ungroup all email from array headers.to. Than I use $group section to group my result. </p>

<p><strong>I use this query:</strong> </p>

<pre><code>db.messages.aggregate([{"$unwind": "$headers.To"},
    {"$group": { "_id":null, 'From': "$headers.From", 'To': "$headers.To","count":{$sum:1}}},
    {"$sort": {"count": -1}},
    {"$limit": 10},
    ])
