Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Parse Server 4.0.0 mentions this breaking change:

FIX: BREAKING CHANGE Prevent new usernames or emails that clash with existing users' email or username if it only differs by case. For example, don't allow a new user with the name 'Jane' if we already have a user 'jane'.

However, it is not clear that the fix creates a new index in the DB.

Creating indices in a mongoDB replica set is a delicate action, because:

  • Other DB queries can depend on existing indices
  • Index creation causes additional DB load (affects resources and oplog)
  • For large collections it can make sense to create an index in a rolling node fashion

Describe the solution you'd like
Any (future) DB index modifications should be clearly mentioned in Parse Server release notes, with the same importance as a breaking change.
