Not compatible with sharded collections.


The "Rename database" operation depends on MongoDB's renameCollection command. renameCollection is not compatible with sharded collections.

More about renameCollection, https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/renameCollection/index.html

Thank you for quick response. I think users might find it useful if we can document the limitations of this option (rename).

In the next release, we will add documentation information for this limitation
