Unit volumes, groups and accounts Mongodb

Question

I have a document that looks like this:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("527a6b7c24a8874c078b9d10"),
    "day" : 6,
    "hour" : 15,
    "hourlyLocations" : [
        {
            "countryName" : "Spain",
            "countryCode" : "ES",
            "cityName" : "Madrid",
            "latitude" : 40,
            "longitude" : -4
        },
        {
            "countryName" : "United Kingdom",
            "countryCode" : "GB",
            "cityName" : "Soest",
            "latitude" : 51.5,
            "longitude" : -0.13
        }
    ],
    "minute" : 18,
    "month" : 11,
    "year" : 2013
}

"hourlyLocations" is a series of attached documents (only the two given here for brevity).

I am trying to launch an aggregation that will return every country, all cities in that country (once) and the number of copies of each city.

Here is what I have so far:

db.hourly.aggregate(
[
    { "$project" : { "hourly" : "$hourlyLocations" } },
    { "$unwind" : "$hourly" },
    { "$group" : { "_id" : { "country" : "$hourly.countryName" }, "city" : { "$push" : "$hourly.cityName" } } },
]
)

This returns something like:

{
        "_id" : {
            "country" : "Italy"
        },
        "city" : [
            "Manzano",
            "Cologno Monzese",
            "Rome",
            "Manzano",
            "Cologno Monzese",
            "Venice",
            "Milan",
            "Rome",
            "Milan",
            "Manzano",
            "Cologno Monzese",
            "Venice",
            "Milan",
            "Rome",
            "Milan",
            "Manzano",
            "Cologno Monzese",
            "Venice",
            "Milan",
            "Rome",
            "Manzano",
            "Cologno Monzese",
            "Venice",
            "Milan",
            "Casalnuovo di Napoli",
            "Manzano",
            "Cologno Monzese",
            "Venice",
            "Milan",
            "Casalnuovo di Napoli",
            "Milan"
        ]
    }

So, I have all the cases when all the cities are grouped by city. Now I want to group and count the number of copies of each city. Something like that:

{
        "_id" : {
            "country" : "Italy"
        },
        "city" : [
            "Casalnuovo di Napoli" : "12"
            "Cologno Monzese" : "10",
            "Manzano" : "9",
            "Milan" : "6",
            "Rome" : "3",
            "Venice" : "1"
        ]
    }

I tried a few things, but could not get it right. How can I get an account of each city in each country as needed?

Many thanks,

Nick.

Try:

db.hourly.aggregate(
[
    { "$project" : { "hourly" : "$hourlyLocations" } },
    { "$unwind" : "$hourly" },
    { $group: { _id: { country: "$hourly.countryName", city: "$hourly.cityName" }, count: { $sum: 1 } } },
    { $sort: { count: -1 } },
    {  $group: { _id: "$_id.country", cities: { $push: { city: "$_id.city", count: "$count"  } }  } }
]
)

. :

{
    "_id" : {
        "country" : "Italy"
    },
    "cities" : [
        { "city": "Cologno Monzese", "count": 12},
        { "city": "Milan", "count": 6},
        { "city": "Rome", "count": 3},
    ]
}
