Description

Hi Team,

According to https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/objectid.rst#specification, ObjectID specification states:

The ObjectID BSON type is a 12-byte value consisting of three different portions (fields):

• a 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch in the highest order bytes,
• a 5-byte random number unique to a machine and process,
• a 3-byte counter, starting with a random value.

whereas the docs (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/ObjectId/#description) states:

The 12-byte ObjectId value consists of:

• a 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch,
• a 5-byte random value, and
• a 3-byte counter, starting with a random value.

Please update the documentation reflecting the change for "5-byte random value".

Let me know if you need more details!
