Investigate changes in SERVER-54712: createIndexes permits weights for non-text indexes

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      Description

      Downstream Change Summary

      We might have to update the docs to mention "Starting from 5.0 the 'weights' parameter is only allowed for $text indexes".

      Description of Linked Ticket

      The following are all permitted in 4.4.4, although weights are only meaningful for text indexes:

      coll.createIndex({a: 1, c: 1}, {weights: {d: 1}})
coll.createIndex({a: 1, c: 1}, {weights: "$**"})
coll.createIndex({a: 1, c: 1}, {weights: {}})
coll.createIndex({a: 1, c: 1}, {weights: "$foo"})

      Consider banning them before we release API Version 1.

      Scope of changes

      This should also get a mention on the compatibility notes.
