Original Description

Description:

The repairDatabase command has been removed. Documentation should be updated to reflect that fact. The following commands are available as alternatives:

• To compact data, use the 'compact' command.
• To rebuild indexes, use the 'reIndex' command.
• To recover data, follow the process for recovering data offline here: http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/repair

Engineering Ticket Description:

Repair should only be done via command line repair mechanism.

repairDatabase command should be removed.

Compact command should be used if collections need to be compacted.
