MapReduce is fixed and working as described below.

Very simple implementation of some of mongodb aggregation framework functions for Meteor. Extends Collection on both Server and Client with 3 methods so far so that you can do:

    col = new Meteor.Collection "name"

    if Meteor.isClient
        col.distinct "Field Name", (error, result)->
            console.dir result

        col.aggregate pipeline, (error, result)->
            console.dir result

        # just an example - map and reduce need to be defined as strings
        map = "function() {emit(this.Region, this.Amount);}"
        reduce = "function(reg, am) { return Array.sum(am);};"

        col.mapReduce map, reduce, {out: "out_collection_name", verbose: true}, (err,res)->
            console.dir res.stats # statistics object for running mapReduce
            col = new Meteor.Collection res.collectionName
            Meteor.subscribe res.collectionName, ->
                data = col.find().fetch() # resulting collection
                console.dir data


    if Meteor.isServer
        result = col.distinct "Field Name"
        console.dir result

        result = col.aggregate pipeline
        console.dir result

If called on the client, it simply passes the call to the server collection - so that's mostly a convenience wrapper. No visibility permissions are checked, so be careful with what data you may want to expose.

mapReduce call is slightly more advanced: as results of running mapReduce are put into a separate collection, it is automatically published on the server so you can subscribe on the client, (theoretically) providing reactivity for subsequent calls.
