Overview
--------

**Multikey indexes** are indexes that improve the performance of queries
on array-valued fields. You can create a multikey index on a collection
by using the ``create_one`` method and the same syntax that you use to create
a :ref:`single field index <ruby-single-field-index>`.


When creating a multikey index, you must specify the following details:

- The fields on which to create the index

- The sort order for each field (ascending or descending)

Sample Data
~~~~~~~~~~~

The examples in this guide use the ``movies`` collection in the
``sample_mflix`` database from the :atlas:`Atlas sample datasets
</sample-data>`. To access this collection from your {+language+}
application, create a ``Mongo::Client`` object that connects to
an Atlas cluster and assign the following values to your ``database``
and ``collection`` variables:

.. literalinclude:: /includes/indexes/single-field.rb
:start-after: start-sample-data
:end-before: end-sample-data
:language: ruby
:copyable:

To learn how to create a free MongoDB Atlas cluster and
load the sample datasets, see the :atlas:`Get Started with Atlas
</getting-started>` guide.

Create a Multikey Index
-----------------------

Use the ``create_one`` method to create a multikey index. The following example
creates an index in ascending order on the ``cast`` field:

.. literalinclude:: /includes/indexes/multikey.rb
:start-after: start-index-multikey
:end-before: end-index-multikey
:language: ruby
:copyable:

@mcmorisi Commented on the compound index PR for my reasoning to keep it. Let me know what you think!

---------------------

You can verify that the index was created by listing the indexes in the
collection. You should see an index for ``cast`` in the list, as shown
in the following output:

.. io-code-block::
:copyable: true

.. input:: /includes/indexes/multikey.rb
:start-after: start-check-multikey-index
:end-before: end-check-multikey-index
:language: ruby

.. output::
:visible: true

{"v": 2, "key": {"cast": 1}, "name": "cast_1"}

Example Query
-------------

The following is an example of a query that is covered by the index
created on the ``cast`` field:

.. io-code-block::
:copyable: true

.. input:: /includes/indexes/multikey.rb
:start-after: start-index-multikey-query
:end-before: end-index-multikey-query
:language: ruby

.. output::
:visible: false

{"_id":...,"title":"Fanaa",...,"cast": ["Aamir Khan", "Kajol", "Rishi Kapoor", "Tabu"],...}
