+"""MongoDB backend implementation.
+
+Contains a MongoDB-specific implementation of the
+:mod:`~bigchaindb.backend.changefeed`, :mod:`~bigchaindb.backend.query`, and
+:mod:`~bigchaindb.backend.schema` interfaces.
+
+You can specify BigchainDB to use MongoDB as its database backend by either
+setting ``database.backend`` to ``'rethinkdb'`` in your configuration file, or
+setting the ``BIGCHAINDB_DATABASE_BACKEND`` environment variable to
+``'rethinkdb'``.
+
+If configured to use MongoDB, BigchainDB will automatically return instances
+of :class:`~bigchaindb.backend.rethinkdb.MongoDBConnection` for
+:func:`~bigchaindb.backend.connection.connect` and dispatch calls of the
+generic backend interfaces to the implementations in this module.
+"""

 # Register the single dispatched modules on import.
