Running `bigchaindb -y configure mongodb` will generate a local config file in `$HOME/.bigchaindb` with all the default values (for using MongoDB as the database backend), with two exceptions: it will generate a valid private/public keypair, rather than using the default keypair (`None` and `None`).

Internally (i.e. in the Python code), both keys have a default value of `None`, but that's not a valid key. Therefore you can't rely on the defaults for the keypair. If you want to run BigchainDB, you must provide a valid keypair, either in the environment variables or in the local config file. You can generate a local config file with a valid keypair (and default everything else) using `bigchaindb -y configure rethinkdb`.

(currently either MongoDB or RethinkDB). They are:
* `database.backend` is either `rethinkdb` or `mongodb`.
* `database.backend` is either `mongodb` or `rethinkdb`.
* `database.host` is the hostname (FQDN) of the backend database.
* `database.port` is self-explanatory.
* `database.name` is a user-chosen name for the database inside RethinkDB or MongoDB, e.g. `bigchain`.
* `database.name` is a user-chosen name for the database inside MongoDB or RethinkDB, e.g. `bigchain`.
* `database.replicaset` is only relevant if using MongoDB; it's the name of the MongoDB replica set, e.g. `bigchain-rs`.
* `database.connection_timeout` is the maximum number of milliseconds that BigchainDB will wait before giving up on one attempt to connect to the database backend.
* `database.max_tries` is the maximum number of times that BigchainDB will try to establish a connection with the database backend. If 0, then it will try forever.
