    Description

      Currently, when we specify the "on" field using a field that is partially indexed with a unique constraint, we throw an error informing the user that an index isn't found.

      Error: command failed: {
      	"ok" : 0,
      	"errmsg" : "Cannot find index to verify that join fields will be unique",
      	"code" : 51183,
      	"codeName" : "Location51183"
      } : aggregate failed :
      

      Our source indicates that a field that is partially uniquely indexed is insufficient as a unique index.

      It's not clear in our $merge documentation that a partially indexed field is insufficient for specifying "on" in $merge.
