How to Create Index With MongoDB 3 Java Driver

Sample Java Program to Create Index in MongoDB 3 Java Driver . This snipped also contains older code which was used to create index . You just need to create a BasicDBObject with key as a name on which you want to create a index , and value will be 1 or -1 . if you create it with 1 then it will create a ascending index , and if you create with -1 , then it will create descending index .
