Is it possible to move mongodb indexes to another file system? Is it possible to separate MongoDB files location so the indexes are on another file system? 

In the example below, I have database with 1.5TB of data + indexes of 330GB. 
I have a very fast storage that is not large enough to hold the entire data. 
I assume that if I move there the indexes I can get better performance. 

Is there a way to do so?

# ls -l /data/mongodb --block-size=G
total 1962G

To be clear, this feature is only available when using the WiredTiger storage engine.

To use, invoke mongod like so:

mongod --dbpath /tmp --storageEngine wiredTiger --wiredTigerDirectoryForIndexes


In your dbpath, you will see a directory called indexes where indexes will be stored.

Also update yaml as

storage:
  engine: wiredTiger
wiredTiger:
  engineConfig:
  directoryForIndexes: true


Kindly note to try this in test environment once.
Please ask if any further help is required.
