On February 10, 2022, we released Percona Server for MongoDB 5.0.6-5. A release highlight includes a fix for an issue with inconsistent data observed during the direct upgrade from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 to 4.4.8+ and 5.0.2+. Data inconsistency was caused by the incorrect checkpoint metadata to sometimes be recorded by MongoDB versions 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. WiredTiger used this metadata during node startup that could lead to data corruption and could cause the DuplicateKey error. The fix requires the upgrade to versions 4.4.11+ or 5.0.5+.
