[mongodb-user] enforcing unique indexes in the shell

[Wes]

I am trying to prepare a jira for an issue encountered through java
api, but I can not replicate it in the shell.

What needs to be done to force unique indexes to be enforced here:



> db.blog.save({
... _id : "1",
... blog_name : "My First Blog",
... entries : [
... {
... entry_id : "123",
... entry_name : "My first entry",
... posted : "2010-01-01",
... comments : [ { user : "bob", comment : "cool"}, { user :
"joe", comment : "not cool" } ]
... },
... {
... entry_id : "124",
... entry_name : "My second entry",
... posted : "2010-01-01",
... comments : [ { user : "jane", comment : "not cool"},
{ user : "sam", comment : "not cool" } ]
... },
... {
... entry_id : "125",
... entry_name : "My third entry",
... posted : "2010-01-02",
... comments : [ { user : "jane", comment : "not cool"},
{ user : "sam", comment : "not cool" } ]
... }
... ]
... } )
> db.blog.find()

I finally figured out the unique index does not prevent duplicates
within the same tree. For example, my blog #1 can have duplicate
entries.entry_id and entries.comments.user, but blog #2 can not.

Created jira for this. Feel free to add comments; I think I've
described the essence of it:
