firestore 'in' 2d array order optional
For some reason an 'in' wury with a 2d array also runs with a sort function. which is not provided or supported by other features such as ArrayUnion and ArrayRemove.
the order should be an optional parameter because using a system where we must find all other documents that have the exact same features but maybe in a different order, is not possible. there is no native sort option when using ArrayUnion, and we've been taught through firestore arrays in general, that orders of items fundamentally shouldn't be considered to exist due to idempotency.
TLDR:
ArrayUnion does not support 'in…1 vote -
Query language (like SQL) but for firestore to enable developers to share queries across the whole stack
let's say that you have a Kotlin android app, Swift iOS app, a Dart Flutter app and cloud functions written in typescript.
there should be a way to re-use shared queries across the whole stack.
having a query language like SQL and pass those redundant queries across all apps that would be really efficient and could save developers a lot of time and it could produce less bugs.I'm not suggesting SQL, I'm suggesting to have a query language that's all.

Allow use of document value as query paramter
Especially a parent value of a subcollection. For example, to be able to read data about a User while querying a subcollection called "Responses".

Add option to save a query in Firestore Query Builder
I have some queries that I perform frequently through Firestore Query Builder. It would be great to save queries to be able to run them with one click.

Provide a way to document and share models across platforms.
Afaik there is currently no standard way to a) document the structure and organization of Firestore collections and documents stored in a project expected by apps which use it, and b) share the model definition across languages and platforms. Instead, each client requires its own implementation of the app-specific model and conversion to/from Firestore's model which needs to be kept up-to-date as the system involves.
If there were a way to share this model (for ex. proto, JSON schema, other) and easily use it from Firestore APIs, it would reduce dev and maintenance cost and improve developer experience.

onDisconnect for firestore (user presence)
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/presence
We have a workaround by using Realtime Database, but if you don't work realtime databases in your app, this seems inefficient and cumbersome. I'd like to see a native method for Firestore that offers this functionality. Perhaps offer a onSnapshot.disconnect hook.

Create way to duplicate documents within firebase console so we can easily move them elsewhere

Encrypted Collections in Firestore
Ability to mark certain collections to be Encrypted so it's not readable even in the firebase console.
There are some application types that require this sort of behaviour to increase security.
Say you are building a messaging app, you would not want the messages between your users to be seen on the console.

It's impossible to import data into the emulator without first exporting, which is a backwards design
Developers should be able to use the CLI to easily pass in a path to a json file, whose contents may be imported into a firestore emulator collection. For instance:
firebase emulators:start --import ./data/import.json --collection=puzzles

Join collections in real-time (similar to lookup in mongodb)
The ability to join collections in real-time really allows developers to build complex use cases. Currently, I am having to denormalize data so excessively that the solution doesn't seem to scale. Having to implement workaround after workaround to circumvent the limitations.
An aggregate lookup function similar to that of mongodb would really be a life save. We are ok to compromise on the extra reads, and some performance if it means to bring us data consistency.
Really having this feature would stop people looking into RDBMS based alternative such as Supabase.

signInWithCustomToken using Python
Hello,
is it possible to use signInWithCustomToken to authenticate in Python and retrieve documents from a collection?
Does it work in Python only with cred = credentials.Certificate('serviceAccountKey.json')?Thanks

Firestore insights dashboard
Same dashboard in GCP as Firestore in datastore mode. Collection storage space usage, index size, data size, etc.
Also, for multi tenancy apps in both modes (using subcollections or multiple databases or also schemas in native mode would be nice to have) an API that can tell how much resources - space, reads, writes, etc. did each customer use, to be able to offer some kind of pay-as-you-go type of subscription.

Api to retrieve the list of subCollections present in a collection
We have unstructured data and each document can have different subcollections.
We want to know get the names of all the subcollections present in a collection.Currently we have to iterate over all the documents present in a collection and for each document we are pulling the list of subcollections present in it.
This process is very resource consuming and slow. We have to fire a query for each document present in the collection.Please provide an api something like db.collection("collectioName").listSubCollectionNames();

Firestore return problem path with PERMISSION_DENIED error
While committing a batch to firestore, if a documents breaks one of the security rules, we only receive: Status{code=PERMISSION_DENIED, description=Missing or insufficient permissions., cause=null}
That doesn't tell me which document in the batch has the issue. Can you add the document path the is causing the error? Potentially in the "cause" field?The logic behind this is that we are seeing Crashlytics reports on our android project with these PERMISSION_DENIED errors, and it is near impossible to track it down without more data.

Move documents and collections to a new location
Instead of making us create inefficient solutions/workarounds ourselves, it would be nice if a convenient API was provided for this functionality.
For example, transfer
