I have a local mongodb database that i want to transfer to a free tier aws ec2 t3.micro instance.

The problem is that one collection in the db is a bit larger(1.2 GB, 24M docs), so there is no way i can index it locally on the dinky little aws machine.

I tried doing it via mongodump and mongorestore, but it doesn’t look like it actually transfer precomputed indexes.

mongorestore hangs the entire ssh session when restoring the particular large index (waited for hours)

2024-06-10T23:27:39.102+0300    index: &idx.IndexDocument{Options:primitive.M{"name":"symbol_1_date_1", "v":2}, Key:primitive.D{primitive.E{Key:"symbol", Value:1}, primitive.E{Key:"date", Value:1}}, PartialFilterExpression:primitive.D(nil)} <-- hangs on this
