checkMetadataConsistency command:
db.adminCommand( { checkMetadataConsistency: 1, checkIndexes: true } )
The method returns a cursor with a batch of documents showing the inconsistencies
found in the sharding metadata. The example below shows a cursor with
a InconsistentIndex inconsistency document:
{ cursor: { id: Long("0"), ns: "test.$cmd.aggregate", firstBatch: [ { type: "InconsistentIndex", description: "Found an index of a sharded collection that is inconsistent between different shards", details: { namespace: "test.authors", info: { missingFromShards: [ "shard-rs1" ], inconsistentProperties: [ ], indexName: "index1" } } } ], }, ok: 1 }
