Original Description

The documentation at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/collMod/#change-expiration-value-for-indexes shows the result document as:

{ "expireAfterSeconds_old" : 1800, "expireAfterSeconds_new" : 3600, "ok" : 1 }

We expect this format for the https://docs.mongodb.com/php-library/master/reference/method/MongoDBDatabase-modifyCollection/ method. However, we are adding additional topologies for our tests, and noticed that with a sharded cluster, the output format changes to:

{
	"raw" : {
		"localhost:4100" : {
			"ok" : 0,
			"errmsg" : "ns does not exist",
			"code" : 26,
			"codeName" : "NamespaceNotFound"
		},
		"localhost:4200" : {
			"expireAfterSeconds_old" : NumberLong(500),
			"expireAfterSeconds_new" : 700,
			"ok" : 1
		}

	},
	"ok" : 1,
	"operationTime" : Timestamp(1534859095, 4),
	"$clusterTime" : {
		"clusterTime" : Timestamp(1534859095, 4),
		"signature" : {
			"hash" : BinData(0,"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA="),
			"keyId" : NumberLong(0)
		}
	}
}

Could you please document this difference?
