mongodump --repair on sharded cluster should return a helpful error

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug

      Start a one shard cluster and run mongodump -repair. The error is that the repairCursor does not exist on mongos, but the error message says that -repair cannot be used on mongo version before 2.7.8.

      The repairCursor is not implemented for mongos (which is OK), but it should return a helpful error message saying so.

      dan:(git)mongo-tools[master]/$ ./bin/mongodump --repair -d test --port 30999
