Export Indexes

The main use of this script is to export indexes of one collection to other. The reason for creating this was: I had encountered a situation at my work where in I had to manually create indexes on my local mongo servers collection which were there on production mongodb server. So to reduce manual work, this script was written.

Senerio to use this script

• Took a data dump of a source collection on a destination db's collection but indexes were not included.
• Used mongoimport command to create a collection on destination db to import documents from a json type of dump.

Usage

• Clone the repo and change current working directory to it.
• Create an env and activate it.
• Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run following

python main.py -src="<source_conn_str>" -srcdb="<source_db>" -srccoll="<source_collectn>" -dest="<dest_conn_str>" -destdb="<dest_db>" -destcoll="<dest_collectn>"
