Yes, the _id field can be renamed after doing a group aggregation in MongoDB by using the $project stage. Here is an example:
db.collection.aggregate([
{ $group: {
_id: "$category",
avgRating: { $avg: "$rating" }
}},
{ $project: {
category: "$_id",
avgRating: 1,
_id: 0
}}
])
In this example, the group aggregation calculates the average rating for each category in the collection. Then, the $project stage renames the _id field to category and removes it from the output. The resulting output will have a category field instead of an _id field.
Note: It is important to ensure that the renamed field does not conflict with any other field names in the output.
