You should either create your collections through the parse API, or alter the _SCHEMA table to reflect your collection and fields. I would not recommend the latter as you may render your collection invalid.

I think parse needs to allow pluggable mongodb transactional queries that would ease development and speed up apps. For example, increment document column field, with each entry, these are readily available features, and it would be great to implement these, Parse side,

I’m not sure what you mean by that, but feel free to open a pull request/proposal. Mongodb doesn’t support transactions and if you’re referring to stored functions, that would entice a large refactoring which we’re not likely to take on.
