A user pointed out that if there is an index on a:1, b:1 and they specify they want to create a new index b:1 with partialFilterExpression:{a:10} (or any other filter on a then index build could scan the existing index and build new index much faster.

Common use case that can benefit from this may also be a case where there exists an index on a:1, b:1, c:1 and user wants to replace it with index on just a:1, b:1 which again can be build (hopefully) faster from existing index than collection scan.
