      Older mongodb shells (here v2.6.1) return an empty array on db.getCollectionNames() issued to a mongodb v2.8.0-rc0

      The v2.8.0-rc0 shell returns correctly the collection names.

      It would be nice if mongodb 2.8.0 returns a result which is compatible for mongodb shells older than 2.8.0, if possible.

      This might also be the reason that the latest pymongo (v2.7.2) driver can't read collection names from mongodb 2.8.0-rc0.
