Indexes for the local database.
To add new indexes
------------------
Indexes are recorded in the following format:
ACTIVE_INDEXES = {
'collection_name': {
'identifier': { # key identifier used for possibly deprecating later
'index': [index_foo_goes_here]}}
... and anything else being parameters to the create_index function
(including unique=True, etc)
Current indexes must be registered in ACTIVE_INDEXES... deprecated
indexes should be marked in DEPRECATED_INDEXES.
Remember, ordering of compound indexes MATTERS. Read below for more.

To remove deprecated indexes
----------------------------
Removing deprecated indexes is easier, just do:
INACTIVE_INDEXES = {
'collection_name': [
'deprecated_index_identifier1', 'deprecated_index_identifier2']}
... etc.
If an index has been deprecated that identifier should NEVER BE USED
AGAIN. Eg, if you previously had 'awesomepants_unique', you shouldn't
use 'awesomepants_unique' again, you should create a totally new name
or at worst use 'awesomepants_unique2'.
