otto function

otto() creates a JavaScript VM that receives and sends data through the defined javascript function for processing. The parameter passed to the function has been converted from a go map[string]interface{} to a JS object of the following form:

{
    "ns":"message.namespace",
    "ts":12345, // time represented in milliseconds since epoch
    "op":"insert",
    "data": {
        "id": "abcdef",
        "name": "hello world"
    }
}

NOTE when working with data from MongoDB, the _id field will be represented in the following fashion:

{
    "ns":"message.namespace",
    "ts":12345, // time represented in milliseconds since epoch
    "op":"insert",
    "data": {
        "_id": {
            "$oid": "54a4420502a14b9641000001"
        },
        "name": "hello world"
    }
}
