Mongodb aggregation pipeline how to limit a group push

Suppose the bottom left coordinates and the upper right coordinates are respectively [0, 0] and [100, 100]. From MongoDB 3.2 you can use the $slice operator to return a subset of an array which is what you want.

db.collection.aggregate([
    { "$match": { 
        "loc": { 
            "$geoWithin":  { 
                "$box": [ 
                    [0, 0], 
                    [100, 100]
                ]
            }
        }}
    }},
    { "$group": { 
        "_id": "$name",
        "submitted": { "$max": "$submitted" }, 
        "preview": { "$first": "$preview" }
        "locs": { "$push": "$loc" }
    }}, 
    { "$project": { 
        "locs": { "$slice": [ "$locs", 5 ] },
        "preview": 1,
        "submitted": 1
    }},
    { "$limit": 10 }
])
