      First create a unique index.

      sh.enableSharding("testdb")
use testdb
db.testcoll.createIndex({a:1}, {unique:true})
db.testcoll.getIndexes()
[
        {
                "v" : 2,
                "key" : {
                        "_id" : 1
                },
                "name" : "_id_"
        },
        {
                "v" : 2,
                "key" : {
                        "a" : 1
                },
                "name" : "a_1",
                "unique" : true
        }
]

      Then shard the collection, but do not specify a unique index.

       sh.shardCollection("testdb.testcoll", {a:1})

      Finally, it shows that it is not a unique index in the config.collections table, but when I run getIndexes command, it shows that it is a unique index, and the status is inconsistent. 

      use config
db.collections.find({_id:"testdb.testcoll"})
{ "_id" : "testdb.testcoll", "lastmodEpoch" : ObjectId("63467fa468689fc229d184b2"), "lastmod" : ISODate("2022-10-12T08:49:40.375Z"), "timestamp" : Timestamp(1665564579, 6), "uuid" : UUID("e6eb4a14-60ee-4c00-acb3-355da36b59eb"), "key" : { "a" : 1 }, "unique" : false, "noBalance" : false }
      Show
      First create a unique index. sh.enableSharding( "testdb" ) use testdb db.testcoll.createIndex({a:1}, {unique: true }) db.testcoll.getIndexes() [ { "v" : 2, "key" : { "_id" : 1 }, "name" : "_id_" }, { "v" : 2, "key" : { "a" : 1 }, "name" : "a_1" , "unique" : true } ] Then shard the collection, but do not specify a unique index. sh.shardCollection( "testdb.testcoll" , {a:1}) Finally, it shows that it is not a unique index in the config.collections table, but when I run getIndexes command, it shows that it is a unique index, and the status is inconsistent. use config db.collections.find({_id: "testdb.testcoll" }) { "_id" : "testdb.testcoll" , "lastmodEpoch" : ObjectId( "63467fa468689fc229d184b2" ), "lastmod" : ISODate( "2022-10-12T08:49:40.375Z" ), "timestamp" : Timestamp(1665564579, 6), "uuid" : UUID( "e6eb4a14-60ee-4c00-acb3-355da36b59eb" ), "key" : { "a" : 1 }, "unique" : false , "noBalance" : false }

      For a sharded cluster, first create a unique index, but do not specify the relevant field as a unique index when shardColleciton. Finally, the config.collections table shows that the corresponding index is not a unique index.
      Is this expected behavior?
      When running the shardCollection command without specifying unique equal to true bug finding that the corresponding index has been built as a unique index, should it return a failure?
