      The initial implementation of $sample will involve a collection scan if it is the first stage in the pipeline. This could be dramatically improved if we exposed a way for storage engines to provide a random cursor that would do something more efficient like a random walk on a B-Tree to get pseudo-random results.

      This will only track the storage engine API and WiredTiger implementation of getRandomCursor(), work on integrating this into the aggregation pipeline will be tracked on SERVER-19182
