unsupported WiredTiger file version should be added here and call setWtIncompatible
Consider having Version incompatibility detected also setWtIncompatible.
New description:
See how MongoDB and WT can cooperate to better express error cases on wiredtiger_open.
MongoDB behaviors today that can hopefully be simplified:
- MongoDB tries calling wiredtiger_open with a specific order of "compatibility versions" to learn the journal files WT discovered at startup.
- Having a way to do this in one call would be great.
- If multiple calls is still required, consider having a better way to suppress repeated compatibility error messages.
- This line specifically is for WT refusing to startup on 4.0 or earlier data files.
- Knowing whether WT has modified data files.
- When MongoDB is running with --repair it first creates a "repair lock file". That lock file can be safely removed after repair completes.
- However, it's typical that newer MongoDB versions can be used to repair older data (to help lessen the burden of backporting). It can be unclear if a wiredtiger_open with salvage fails because data was corrupted, or if WT refused to look at the data files because of a versioning error (e.g: 4.4 on 4.0 data files) that's outside of any compatibility constraint.
