      See the following spec change for removing md5 checksums: https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/commit/0a8fa9f3d4e27f994b272bac849b9fe99cefda5f#diff-445c8c75206c104561f2a64f21f69987ead17261653fdc45750a207a184486fe

      The following option is transitional:

- **disableMD5:** this allows users to disable MD5 when operating under
  FIPS restrictions.  It is provided to allow a transition period as
  drivers remove MD5 support.  Until a driver removes MD5 support,
  drivers MUST support this option.  Following a driver's normal
  feature removal cycle, when MD5 support is removed, this option MUST be
  removed or otherwise made into a no-op option.

      Applications that desire a file digest should implement it outside GridFS and store it with other file metadata.
