We added $toHashedIndexKey in SERVER-49214 which solves some similar use cases, and some described below in the original description and comments. This ticket remains open to add a more general hash expression - perhaps for more cryptographic use cases, or if someone wants/needs a particular algorithm.

Original Description

Oracle has http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/functions183.htm#SQLRF55647 which computes one of several standard hash functions on a particular column.

It would be nice if there was analogous expression in agg:

hashMD5:{$hash:{source:"$expression", function:"MD5"}}

or something like that.
