The answer is “not directly”. If you are able to load MongoDB/ArangoDB data into a Pandas or Spark dataframe, you can work with the data this way. See e.g. at [https://docs.greatexpectations.io/en/latest/tutorials/create\_expectations.html?highlight=batch\_kwargs#load-a-batch-of-data-to-create-expectations](https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.greatexpectations.io%2Fen%2Flatest%2Ftutorials%2Fcreate_expectations.html%3Fhighlight%3Dbatch_kwargs%23load-a-batch-of-data-to-create-expectations) - instead of providing a ‘path’ key, you would provide a ‘dataset’ key with the Pandas or Spark DF.
