mongoimport doesn't show error messages for duplicate records

      I found strange behavior. I found "duplicate record" errors from mongoimport are printed to the output correctly when I use --dbpath , but if I connect to the database via mongo daemon then I don't see those errors. Is it possible to have get those errors in same way as it appears with --dbpath . Actually, I think behavior should be the same for both ways, no matter how mongoimport connects to mongodb.

      saulius@saulius:~/temp/mong$ cat data.csv
      attribute1, attribute2
      a,a
      a,a
      b,b
      saulius@saulius:~/temp/mong$ mongod --version
      db version v1.6.4, pdfile version 4.5

      {attribute1: 1, attribute2: 1}

      ,

      {unique: true}

      );
      > exit

      bye
      saulius@saulius:~/temp/mong$ sudo mongoimport --file data.csv --db
      things --collection things --type csv --headerline

      No errors!!! Importer just silently skipped duplicate records:

      saulius@saulius:~/temp/mong$ mongo
      MongoDB shell version: 1.6.4
      connecting to: test
      > use things;

      switched to db things
      > db.things.find();

      { "_id" : ObjectId("4cd19739cec6b527a76e5c0e"), "attribute1" : "a", "attribute2" : "a" } { "_id" : ObjectId("4cd19739cec6b527a76e5c10"), "attribute1" : "b", "attribute2" : "b" }

      BUT, when I use direct import to mongodb files:

      saulius@saulius:~/temp/mong$ mongoimport --file data.csv --db things
      --collection things --type csv --headerline -dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/
