feat(compass-aggregations): disable search stages for incompatible views COMPASS-9693

[DarshanaVenkatesh]

Description

Disable search stages for views depending on version/if incompatible with search.

• If <8.0, disable search stages for views with added text 'Atlas only. Requires MongoDB 8.1+ to run on a view.'
• If 8.0, disable search stages for views with added text 'Atlas only. Requires MongoDB 8.1+ to run on a view. To use a search index on a view on MongoDB 8.0, query the view’s source collection sourceName.'
• If not search queryable, disable search stage for views with added text 'Atlas only. Only views containing $match stages with the $expr operator, $addFields, or $set are compatible with search indexes.'
• I also changed the order to say match stages with expr first in all error/banner messages.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds support for search stages in aggregation views with version and compatibility checks. The changes implement conditional disabling of search stages based on MongoDB version compatibility and view pipeline queryability requirements.

• Adds version compatibility checks for search stages on views (MongoDB 8.0+/8.1+ requirement)
• Implements pipeline queryability validation for search index compatibility
• Updates collection stats to include pipeline information for view compatibility checks

Can you explain somewhere why DE and Compass have different minimum server versions?

Can you explain somewhere why DE and Compass have different minimum server versions?

Sorry I misunderstood something but yes you're right DE itself isn't related to server version 8.1+. ̶W̶e̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶p̶l̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶e̶a̶r̶c̶h̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶g̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶D̶a̶t̶a̶ ̶E̶x̶p̶l̶o̶r̶e̶r̶,̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶C̶o̶m̶p̶a̶s̶s̶. I removed the extra check and made it only check Compass version for compatibility.

Hey @DarshanaVenkatesh, can you clarify, if we don't need to differenciate by version here, does it also mean we didn't need to do it in this PR? Because Le Roux is basically asking the same thing I asked you before, so just want to make sure we're not introducing unexpected differences in behavior for desktop and web that otherwise in most cases always behave the same

That pr should differentiate in the banners because we want to direct users to the atlas search indexes page for data explorer. So yes, we want banners with the server version difference because that's mentioning the server version in Atlas vs Compass (not necessarily data explorer).

[gribnoysup]

Where is this requirement coming from? This is a weird change in compass behavior only for data explorer. Why are you not allowed to see actually working stages in aggregation builder based on a completely different feature?

[DarshanaVenkatesh]

Removing this! Sorry for the back and forth. The final implementation will have both of them work the same for compass and de! Will ping you after I update this pr but both will have search stages with the same messages.
