For the new automerger that will be released in MongoDB version 7.0 please create a shell helpers to allow customers to start and stop automerging in a similar manner they can start and stop the balancer today via mongosh. Additionally customers should be able to enable or disable the automerger via an option in the configureCollectionBalancing command.

Proposed syntax:

Global automerger start and stop commands:

sh.startAutoMerger()

sh.stopAutoMerger()

Enabling and disabling automerger per collection via shell helper:

sh.enableAutoMerge(<namespace>)

sh.disableAutoMerge(<namespace>)
