Can I, and if I can, how can I rename a shard in Mongo? Like if I wanted to change the instances of rs0 to rep0 below: mongos> sh.status() --- Sharding Status --- sharding version: { "_id" : 1, "version" : 4, "minCompatibleVersion" : 4, "currentVersion" : 5, "clusterId" : ObjectId("111111111111") } shards: { "_id" : "rs0", "host" : "rs0/mongo0a:27017,mongo0b:27017" } ... I have thought about removing and re-adding the shard, but I'm not sure how I'd do that without having to drain the shard and drop dbs. Currently 0 of the collections have sharding enabled, I just have a few standalones added as shards. Thanks
