      Original Downstream Change Summary

      New expression '$createObjectId' has been introduced that creates a new random object id.

      Description of Linked Ticket

      There is no way to generate a random object id in a query without a shell helper (e.g. if you want to write your query as JSON). We should have some aggregation operator, e.g. something like $oid, to randomly generate an object id.

      Relevant for working around an issue like SERVER-106347.
