      This write done by _configsvrShardCollection to write the collection entry to the sharding catalog uses majority writeConcern and the kIdempotent RetryPolicy.

      If it fails to wait for writeConcern, it will be retried because of the kIdempotent policy, and the retry will see DuplicateKeyError because the document has already been written locally.
