How do I abstract querying in the MongoDB C# Driver v2?

So I used to be able to run Linq queries against the MongoCollection through IQueryable in version 1.x

When I'm referencing my db libraries, since all I'm doing is exposing the IQueryable interface, my calling code never needed to reference any of the C# driver stuff. It seems like I need to manually map my queries now, or expose the filter definition. Is there a "right" way to do this? (easy to read/easy to maintain)

I suggest simply not abstracting over the driver.

You can't really use LINQ and exchange the underlying DB and expect everything to work anyway.

As was suggested by xanatos in the comments, you can wait for the driver to add support for LINQ in v2.1, but keep in mind that LINQ is synchronous and the driver isn't. That means that you will either block on async code (which is bad) or you would use the driver's special async methods (which isn't really an abstraction)

Maintaining the abstraction seems not to be worth the effort in my opinion.
