      Currently createIndexes command takes the locks it needs to actual create an index.  If the index already exists (as is the case in a lot of scenarios where "just in case" createIndex is sent periodically or before running some process) concurrency could benefit significantly from checking if the index already exists under a weak lock.

      This would benefit cases where the index exists as is (success returned) or the index exists but with different options (failure returned) - neither of these would contribute to command requiring a strong lock.
