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
col1/doc1/col2and all its children tocol1/doc2/col28 votes -
Allow updating multiple documents through a query
Many other databases have support for update queries, such as:
- Apply "x" update data to all docs matching "y" query
- Delete all docs matching "x" query
Maybe these queries would only count as 1 write per doc, as opposed to 1 read + 1 write. At the very least they would have better performance.

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.

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

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.

Support deleting databases via the API
You cannot delete a Firestore database with the API; you must use the CLI if you want to do this programmatically. This is problematic as it means you essentially need to create a shell in your application, ensure the CLI is available, authenticate, and then make the required CLI call.

Allow developers to use the local Firestore database for free
It'd be really nice if you could allow users to create local drafts, of small documents, for instance, and save them locally for free with Firestore.
This way you wouldn't have to coordinate Firestore and its rules with some other database and client code nor would you have to choose the simpler option of getting charged for writes and reads on remote database documents that really only one user is supposed to write and read.
Please note that while you could use the realtime database to save drafts, 1 it's not always easy to figure out whether that'd actually be…

How to reduce reads for static data
I want to ask documentation on how to reduce the number of unnecessary reads. eg. my product data
let query = store.collection("products");
Assuming I have 500 products, one user click on get products = 500 reads ? If 100 users click that function, then all my quota is gone in 1 minute. Is that right?
How can I overcome this.
Please provide a full example. I have seen Mr Duckworth's presentation in a firebase event, but could not see a good example.

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 -

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.

Firestore Index Name
As a Firestore project grows, so do the number of Composite Indexes.
While the fields are visible, being able to name a composite index would allow us to define which specific feature(s) a composite index is tied to, allowing us to remove unused indexes if they're no longer relevant.

Expose subcollections as json fields
Currently, subcollections are treated separately from fields in the UI. This seems like an arbitrary distinction - a subcollection is simply a json object under a document. You could do the same thing with a string field.
The API could support retrieving subcollections as string fields in json format for a document. This would prevent the need to iterate over every document in a collection, then get a list of the subcollections, then retrieve the documents from those subcollections, etc. If worried about time required, since Firestore supports 100 nesting levels, perhaps the API call could include the nesting level…
