Performing a batch insert like
@state.collection.insert batch
bypasses Activerecord and so doesn’t allow for validation functions and
other callbacks to be run. Is there a workaround to this? I found a
gem for doing this in MySQL/Postgres

But I’m surprised there doesn’t seem to be a gem or even much discussion
for the issue in Mongo since it seems like a signficant problem for any
application dealing with alot of data.
