a new command "moveCollection" will be introduced in this project that will allow users to move unsharded collections to a shard of their choice one at a time in an online manner.
we will deprecate movePrimary in favor of the moveCollection command.
We would like to create a shell helper for moveCollection command.
Description of Linked Ticket
Summary
Allow users to move an unsharded collection to a shard of their choice using moveCollection command without impacting their application's availability.
Motivation
All unsharded collections currently reside on the primary shard of a database. The ability to move an unsharded collection to any shard unlocks users' ability to leverage horizontal scalability without needing to actually shard their collections. Most of our users have only 1 sharded collection. The primary shard has the most amount of collections and it would be good to move collections around without needing to shard them.
