      Issue

      A customer was upgrading from 2.4 to 4.2 and config servers crash because of a conflicting index name in the lockping collection.

      2020-11-03T10:57:41.080+0000 F - [rsSync-0] Fatal assertion 40184 IndexOptionsConflict: Failed to initialize config database on config server's first transition to primary :: caused by :: couldn't create lockping ping time index on config db :: caused by :: Index with name: ping_1 already exists with a different name at src/mongo/db/repl/replication_coordinator_external_state_impl.cpp 773

      In 2.4.3, a bug caused the "ping_" index to be created (SERVER-9399). Upgrading from 4.0 to 4.2, they crossed the boundary of SERVER-33149 which changed the behavior when an index is created with the same options but of a different name, emitting an error. The secondaries fail to create "ping_1" due to this new behavior. 

      Suggested Fix

      It would be helpful to soften the check on index "ping_1" so upgrading from 2.4 doesn't come across with that error.
