Well, well, I've been studying storm's code.

It would be more dificult than I expected. It seems to me that It's
quite impossible to do that wihout changing storm-core, once that
storm was built upon SQL way. As I was taking mongoengine code as
parameter, I didnt thought storm was so heavy content.

I can't imagine a way to just build a backend layer for mongo, in this
case we would have to create an SQL--Mongo converter.

Another way would be to create a big 'layer' to emulate store-objects,
including another almost entire new ORM appended to convert mongo
types. A terrible workaround.

So the only option would be creating a higher abstraction layer and
making current implementation derivate from it, and then derivating
the mongo bridge with Storm's ideas and ways.

But changing a well-tested core-code is unacceptable.

So, does anyone have another idea?

Thanks
