Spring Data MongoDB Select fields to return

In MongoDB console, you can use field:1 to select the fields to return from a query :

> db.hosting.find({},{domain:1, count:1});

In Spring Data for MongoDB, you use query.fields().include :

package com.mkyong.core.hosting.dao;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Criteria;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Query;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Update;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import com.hostingcompass.core.db.dao.MongoDaoImpl;
@Repository
public class HostingDaoImpl 
	extends MongoDaoImpl<Hosting> implements HostingDao {
	@Override
	public List<Hosting> findTopHosting(int numOfRecord) {
		Query query = new Query();
		if (numOfRecord > 0)
			query.limit(numOfRecord);
		query.with(new Sort(Sort.Direction.DESC, "count"));
		query.fields().include("_id");
		query.fields().include("domain");
		query.fields().include("count");
		return findAll(query, Hosting.class);
