Collection.createIndex(keys, options)

[alwyn1024]

Add method createIndex() to Collection class, so that indexes can be created on collections.

Creating indexes is certainly a requirement but this is probably not enough:

db.collection.ensureIndex( { 'key': 1 } ); to create an index db.collection.getIndexes(); to find them all db.collection.dropIndex( { 'key' : 1 } ); to remove an index

Absolutely, I've created individual feature requests for each method in the list.

Already looked into how to create indexes, and it seems easy enough. Will commit the new driver feature as soon as I've implemented it.

db.system.indexes.find() already works even in test app when you set collection to system.indexes

Yeah, you could probably do all your index management by running queries directly on system.indexes, but it still would be nice to have proper index methods to make things easier for noobs.

First version of db.collection.createIndex(keys, options) implemented.

The following still need to be completed:

1. Currently keys need to be given in well-formed JSON (e.g. {mykey:1} will cause an error).
2. options is currently ignored.

Will work on these two issues next.

CreateIndex now fully implemented.
