Using index by its name through helper cursor.hint()

    • Type: Icon: Improvement Improvement
    • Resolution: Done

    • 2.8, 3.0
    • Affects Version/s: 2.1.1
    • Component/s: None

      Now for using index we can use helper cursor.hint(index). index should be an index as passed to create_index() (e.g. [('field', ASCENDING)]):

      collection.ensure_index(name="indexname", [("length", pymongo.ASCENDING)])
      cursor.hint([("length", pymongo.ASCENDING)])
      

      But it will be more flexible to get an opportunity to write

      collection.ensure_index(name="indexname", [("length", pymongo.ASCENDING)])
      cursor.hint("indexname")
