'Mongo Restore fails to restore time series collection with the same name
I have a timeseries collection in mongodb liveSamples collection, I'm trying to dump some documents from this collection and then restore it later with mongorestore to the same time series collection liveSamples.
The problem is that using mongorestore it doesn't allow to restore to an existing time series, so it asks to use --drop, but if i use drop ill lose all existing data in the collection.
notice that this works in a normal collection but not in a timeseries colelction.
This works in mongoexport and mongoimport, but the thing is that im using the capability of mongodump and mongorestore to compress the documents to gzip which is very critical for me.
How can i overcome this?
