Hi, thanks. Good catch. That bit of documentation dates from when Meteor used MongoDB 2.6, and from your linked article it seems like the fact that it worked at all was accidental. I'll remove that section from the docs in the next point release.
The related advice in the docs is not a good one.
Updates that change the size of documents in a capped collection are not allowed by MongoDb. And changing string values like
status
fromwaiting
tocompleted
changes the size of the document. See hereSo even if you manage to convert your Jobs Meteor Collection to a capped one, you can't use Jobs with it.
