      1. Let's store the value 0 as double and verify it indeed is a double:

      > db.test.update({"_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b")}, { $set: {"test": 0} }, {upsert: true})
WriteResult({
	"nMatched" : 0,
	"nUpserted" : 1,
	"nModified" : 0,
	"_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b")
})
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 1 } } );
{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b"), "test" : 0 }
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 16 } } );

      2. Try to replace it with value 0 as a 32-bit integer and verify it's still a double:

      > db.test.update({"_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b")}, { $set: {"test": NumberInt(0)} }, {upsert: true})
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 0 })
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 1 } } );
{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b"), "test" : 0 }
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 16 } } );

      3. Change the number to 1 and make sure it's a 32-bit integer after this:

      > db.test.update({"_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b")}, { $set: {"test": NumberInt(1)} }, {upsert: true})
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 1 } } );
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 16 } } );
{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b"), "test" : 1 }

      4. Now let's change the value successfully to 0 as a 32-bit integer:

      > db.test.update({"_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b")}, { $set: {"test": NumberInt(0)} }, {upsert: true})
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 1 } } );
> db.test.find( { test: { $type: 16 } } );
{ "_id" : ObjectId("55f6c676e779893076f77e6b"), "test" : 0 }

      If you store the value 0 as a double in a field, you can't change the value 0 to a 32 bit integer without switching the value to something else in between.
      It appears MongoDB on update considers 0 (the double) to be equal to the new value 0 (32-bit integer) and does not do any update.
