migrations_server.js

/*
  Adds migration capabilities. Migrations are defined like:

  Migrations.add({
    up: function() {}, //*required* code to run to migrate upwards
    version: 1, //*required* number to identify migration order
    down: function() {}, //*optional* code to run to migrate downwards
    name: 'Something' //*optional* display name for the migration
  });

  The ordering of migrations is determined by the version you set.

  To run the migrations, set the MIGRATE environment variable to either
  'latest' or the version number you want to migrate to. Optionally, append
  ',exit' if you want the migrations to exit the meteor process, e.g if you're
  migrating from a script (remember to pass the --once parameter).

  e.g:
  MIGRATE="latest" mrt # ensure we'll be at the latest version and run the app
  MIGRATE="latest,exit" mrt --once # ensure we'll be at the latest version and exit
  MIGRATE="2,exit" mrt --once # migrate to version 2 and exit

  Note: Migrations will lock ensuring only 1 app can be migrating at once. If
  a migration crashes, the control record in the migrations collection will
  remain locked and at the version it was at previously, however the db could
  be in an inconsistant state.
