Answer 1

MongoDB automatically creates a multikey index if any indexed field is an array; you do not need to explicitly specify the multikey type.

This will work for both the scenario's db.coll.createIndex( { "addr.pin": 1 } )

Scenario 1 nested OBJECTS

{
  userid: "1234",
  addr: {
    pin:"455522"
  }
},
{
  userid: "1234",
  addr: {
    pin:"777777"
  }
}

Scenario 2 nested Arrays

{
  userid: "1234",
  addr: [
    { pin:"455522" },
    { pin:"777777" },
  ]
}
