      Given documents of the form

      {
    _id: ObjectId("..."),
    a: "2016-08-07",
    ...
    b: 2222,
    c: 3333
    ...
},
{
    _id: ObjectId("..."),
    a: "2016-08-07"
    c: 4444,
    ...
},
{
    _id: ObjectId("..."),
    a: "2016-08-07",
    ...
    b: 4444,
    c: 5555
    ...
},

      And a partial index of the form

      db.foo.createIndex({a: -1, b: 1}, partialFilterExpression: {b: {$exists: true}})

      The query planner can use this index to fully cover a query of the following form:

      db.foo.find({a: { $lte: '2016-08-11' }, b: {$exists: true}}, {_id: 0, a: 1})
