MongoDB - Sparse Index
//
We can create indexes on a collection's fields but what happens when we are creating an index and that key is not present more then one document in that collection.
Suppose we have a collection with following documents
1. a:1, b:2, c:3
2. a:1, b:2
3. a:1, b:2
If we create an index on c then for document 1 it will be ok but for document 2 and 3 c's value will be
c=null (c= null) will be in both 2 and 3 documents, but unique means that a key will have unique value for each document so DB will not create a unique index for this collection .

MongoDB - creating and viewing indexes
//
According to definition from Wikipedia , A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table at the cost of additional writes and the use of more storage space to maintain the extra copy of data. Indexes are used to quickly locate data without having to search every row in a database table every time a database table is accessed.
Data is stored on disk based storage devices as block of data. These disk block of data are stored much like linked lists. When we perform a linear search on a field that is not sorted then database have to perform N/2 accesses.
