Fix #14868
Summary
Add an option to make
syncIndexes()
mark indexes as hidden (see MongoDB hidden indexes docs) as opposed to dropping them. Hidden indexes are useful because rebuilding an index can be expensive, so if you accidentally drop a index that you shouldn't it can take a while to recover. With hidden indexes, you can test whether removing this index will cause performance issues without actually dropping the index.syncIndexes({ hideIndex: true })
will hide all non-schema indexes rather than dropping them.Hidden index support was added in MongoDB 4.4 so we should make a quick note about version compatibility, since Mongoose 8 technically supports all the way back to MongoDB 3.6.
