Simply adds a filter to
updateMany
when deleting the field from the collection. That means that only documents will be updated that contain the field.In the status quo (without index), this added filter has no effect. But it gives the devop the ability to manually add the required index for the field to be deleted. The index has to be
{ <fieldNameToDelete>: { $exists: true }}
.Also added an additional test case for field deletion without index, which was missing before, hence increase in coverage.
