In my MongoDB, I have a student collection with 10 records having fields name and roll. One record of this collection is:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("53d9feff55d6b4dd1171dd9e"),
    "name" : "Swati",
    "roll" : "80",
}

I want to retrieve the field roll only for all 10 records in the collection as we would do in traditional database by using:

SELECT roll FROM student

I went through many blogs but all are resulting in a query which must have WHERE clause in it, for example:

db.students.find({ "roll": { $gt: 70 })

The query is equivalent to:

SELECT * FROM student WHERE roll > 70

My requirement is to find a single key only without any condition. So, what is the query operation for that.
