      Run the following on a collection which large number of docs(to feel the blocking manually):

      db.coll.ensureIndex({"field1":1,"field2" : 1},{"background" : true})
db.coll.dropIndex({"field1_1"},{"background" : true})   // assume index {"field1" : 1} is already present

      Now once the ensureIndex is completed in primary dropIndex will run immediately.
      While the ensureIndex is running in the secondary run any query it will be blocked till the ensureIndex and the dropIndex are replicated.

While the ensureIndex is running in the secondary run any query it will be blocked till the ensureIndex and the dropIndex are replicated.

      Dropping an index in primary while an index creation is replicating in the secondary is blocking all read and write operation on the database.
