      If you have a sharded cluster with 2.8 mongod shards and a 2.6 mongos, running enablesharding will result in a very confusing message:

      Error: command { "enablesharding" : "test" } failed: {
        "code" : 13111,
        "ok" : 0,
        "errmsg" : "exception: error creating initial database config information :: caused by :: field not found, expected type 8"
}

      It would be nice if there was a way to detect this situation and alert users to the fact that they need to upgrade all their mongos instances before any of their mongod instances.
