      I've found two ways to trigger the following assertion on the tip of mongodb-4.2 (4c2230d922d5698d67be1c6b29be54ea3dde379d) when opening datafiles left behind by mongodb-4.4 (5b5d7988560a20dbe827a1fa16c0481e6c0e2821).

      The assertion:

      [1585840139:661667][10257:0x7ff5a069b740], wt, file:collection.wt, WT_SESSION.open_cursor: __wt_check_addr_validity, 156: an oldest start timestamp (0, 30) newer than its durable start timestamp (0, 0): WT_PANIC: WiredTiger library panic
      

      I believe these have the same root cause, but I wanted to make sure it was clear that MongoDB can arrive with these files in multiple paths that the server considers rather disparate. Following are two short-hand WT programs:

      Case 1, using use_timestamp=false on close:

          /* Sets `use_timestamps=<bool>` on WT_CONNECTION::close config/destruction. */                                                                     
          const bool useTimestampsAtShutdown = false;                                                                                                        
          WtConn conn("./WT_HOME_case1", "config_base=false", useTimestampsAtShutdown);                                                                      
          conn.setRelease("3.3");                                                                                                                            
          {

              session.alterTableLogging(collTableUri, false);

      Running the wt tool built on mongo-4.2 to dump the table:collection results in the following:

      dgottlieb@chimichurri ~/xgen/scratch$ ../wiredtiger42/wt -C "config_base=false" -h WT_HOME_case1 dump "table:collection"
      [1585840139:661667][10257:0x7ff5a069b740], wt, file:collection.wt, WT_SESSION.open_cursor: __wt_check_addr_validity, 156: an oldest start timestamp (0, 30) newer than its durable start timestamp (0, 0): WT_PANIC: WiredTiger library panic
      dgottlieb@chimichurri ~/xgen/scratch$ ../wiredtiger42/wt -C "config_base=false" -h WT_HOME_case2 dump "table:collection"
      [1585840143:958542][10284:0x7f9ee4809740], wt, file:collection.wt, WT_SESSION.open_cursor: __wt_check_addr_validity, 156: an oldest start timestamp (0, 30) newer than its durable start timestamp (0, 0): WT_PANIC: WiredTiger library panic
      

      Attached are the following for both cases:

      • unprocessed cpp programs to be linked against mongodb-4.4 that generate problematic datafies
      • the included include/wt_raii.h file needed to compile the unprocessed cpp files
      • Preprocessed versions of both programs
      • Data directories output by both programs that a 4.2 linked wt CLI program will be unable to dump.
