      if calling createIndex on already existing index, but with different options (like unique), no error is raised but index is not changed

      At the end of following, the index is not unique:

      foo:PRIMARY> db.test2.createIndex({c:1})
foo:PRIMARY> db.test2.createIndex({c:1}, {unique: true})
foo:PRIMARY> db.system.indexes.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("4d65b40cb91238df65f3e841"), "ns" : "mydb.test2", "key" : { "c" : 1 }, "name" : "c_1", "v" : 0 }
