 Description   

This FAQ documentation says "use killOp()" do stop an index build in progress.
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/faq/indexes/

 

This reference manual says "do not use killOp()" to stop an index build in progress, use `dropIndex`.

 https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v4.4/reference/command/dropIndexes/#abort-in-progress-index-builds

 

The latter seems more authoritative.

Hi, ian.fogelman@mongodb.com 

The documents look consistent now.  We're good, I think.
