    Description

      Currently it is allowed to manually remove the shard key index, even if the collection is not empty. I cannot think of a situation where this is desirable and since SERVER-1506 there is not necessarily an index dedicated to the shard key.

      I think it should reject removal of this index if the collection is sharded. In other words, the only way to remove the shard key collection is to drop the collection.
