Problem:
In order to use db.c.getIndexStats() or the command indexStats you need to enable the mongd at startup with --enableExperimentalIndexStatsCmd per the documentation here
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/indexStats/#dbcmd.indexStats
However, if this is not enabled at startup you get the following message
> db.q.getIndexStats()
error executing indexStats command: {
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "no such cmd: indexStats",
"bad cmd" : {
"indexStats" : "q"
}
}
The message at best in not helpful, it should indicate that a startup parameter is missing (and may be a link to the documentation)....
Reproduce:
Do not add the startup parameter indicated above and simply do the following
db.q.drop()
db.q.insert({a:1})
db.q.ensureIndex({a:1});
db.q.getIndexStats()
