根因分析

尝试使用写操作直接修改系统集合（如 system.indexes），MongoDB 出于安全性和一致性原因禁止这样做。

English

An attempt was made to directly modify a system collection (like system.indexes) using a write operation, which is forbidden in MongoDB for security and consistency reasons.

官方文档

解决方案

  1. Use the proper MongoDB command to manage indexes, such as createIndex() or dropIndex(), which handle system collection updates internally:
db.myCollection.createIndex({ field: 1 })
  2. If you need to modify system collection behavior, use documented features like the 'system.profile' collection via db.setProfilingLevel() instead of direct writes.

无效尝试

常见但无效的做法:

  1. Trying to drop and recreate the system.indexes collection 95% 失败

    MongoDB prevents dropping system collections; this operation will fail with a similar error.

  2. Using db.runCommand({collMod: 'system.indexes', ...}) 90% 失败

    collMod is not supported for system collections; MongoDB returns an error.
