Allow Specifying MongoDB URI for Dictionaries

Why it matters

This feature enables users to configure MongoDB dictionaries using a standard MongoDB connection URI. It simplifies the dictionary setup process by allowing a concise and familiar way to specify connection parameters in one string, improving usability and reducing configuration errors.

How to use it

To use this feature, specify the MongoDB dictionary's mongodb:// URI directly in the dictionary configuration file under the appropriate connection settings. For example:

<dictionary>
    <name>mongodb_dict</name>
    <source>
        <mongodb>
            <uri>mongodb://user:password@host:port/database.collection</uri>
        </mongodb>
    </source>
</dictionary>
