      While performing the applyOps command, duplicateKey exception are ignored during insertion but not on update operations.

      This could result in a situation where oplog would not be idempotent with a unique index as update could fail where they should not. For example:

      db.test.createIndex({a: 1}, {unique: true})
      db.test.insert({a: 1})
      db.test.update({a: 1}, {$set: {a: 2, b: 1}})
      db.test.remove({a: 2})
      db.test.insert({a: 2})
      

      if you replay all oplog entries whereas the last insert has already been done ({a: 2} is present in the collection), mongod will fail with:

      db.test.update({a: 1}, {$set: {a: 2}})
      applyOps: E11000 duplicate key error collection: test.test index: a_1 dup key: { : 2.0 }
      

      This is specially painful while you are performing point in time restore as mongorestore is stopping at the first error encountered.

      Cheers,
      Damien
