Hi,

We have MongoDB in a 3 node cluster environment and I have created 3 individual index for each of the node. Can you please advice what is the best practice that I need to follow on keeping individual index for each of the node or Can I keep only one index for the whole MongoDB 3 nodes cluster?

Thanks,  
Arun.R
