Query 2016-11-21
When performing a legacy find, getMore or killCursors on a view, users get the error message "Namespace <view> is a view, not a collection". For example, in the shell,
> db.getMongo().forceReadMode("legacy");
> db.view.find().toArray();

This is rather unhelpful from a user's standpoint. We should consider making this error more user-friendly and explicitly state that legacy find and getMore is not supported on a view.

SERVER-27034 views_legacy.js should test OP_GET_MORE/OP_KILL_CURSORS against a view
