在MongoDB中保存纳秒级时间戳（由Go生成，使用Node.js保存）

Question

I am trying to store Unix timestamps in nanoseconds into the Date type field of a Mongodb database.

The unix timestamps in nanoseconds are generated in a Go program (with time.Now().UnixNano()), submitted to Kafa to be read by a Node.js script which uses mongoose to write the payload object containing the unix timestamp in nanoseconds to the Mongodb store.

However this is throwing an error

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ValidationError: trade validation failed: timestamp: Cast to Date failed for value "1544720051987010000" at path "timestamp"

Is there a better way to store unix timestamps in nanosecond in Mongodb?

That is not going to work.

Internally, Date objects are stored as a signed 64-bit integer representing the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970).

MongoDB Reference: Date()

For example,

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    timestamp := time.Now().UnixNano() / int64(time.Millisecond)
    fmt.Println(timestamp)
}

Playground: https://play.golang.org/p/21S_DeVA4jv

Output:

1257894000000

To store Unix nanoseconds, use the long data type.
