Make index creation non blocking

[David M]

Is this possible? Creating an index on a huge collection takes time.
Is it possible to only lock that one collection rather than the entire
DB?

[Eliot Horowitz]

This was actually just implemented: http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-464
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Indexing+as+a+Background+Operation
Will go in 1.3.2
