Error message is unclear : Retryable writes are not supported

See original GitHub issue

Repro steps:

Create a MongoDB Database by right clicking on CosmosDB acount
Shows Retryable writes are not supported

Comment: I don’t understand why I have to do this. Will the extension not work properly if I don’t? Why can’t this be done for me? From a UX perspective, it looks weird that I get an error the first thing that happens after creating a Database, makes me think something is broken in general

Action: cosmosDB.createMongoDatabase Error type: 2 Error Message: Retryable writes are not supported. Please disable retryable writes by specifying “retrywrites=false” in the connection string or an equivalent driver specific config.

@EricJizbaMSFT I got this issue when trying to insert data on a CosmosDB account created from the portal, here’s some things I saw:

There’s no error if you choose MongoDB 3.2 during Cosmos DB account creation, it only occurs with 3.6.
adding &retrywrites=false to the connection strings makes the error disappear, as said by @sinal01
Azure CLI use 3.2 by default for account creation, but the portal have 3.6 selected by default, is there any reason for that difference?

I tried in one of our lower environment adding to connections String - &retrywrites=false I did not see the issue anymore. We did upgrade to spring-boot 2.2.4 and started seeing this issue. But again looks like it is fixed by adding retryWrites=false. I will keep you posted if I find any thing related to this bug. Thank you for quick turnaround.
