Major Change
Description
{$ne: null} has some counterintuitive behavior which has hurt us several times now:
db.c.insert({a: [1, {c: 1}]});
|
db.c.insert({a: [1]});
|
|
db.c.find({"a.b": {$exists: true}}) // Returns nothing.
|
db.c.find({"a.b": {$ne: null}}) // Returns {a: [1]} !!!!
|
That is, {$ne: null} doesn't necessarily return a subset of the things that {$exists: true} returns. This ticket is to track the work of changing the meaning of {$ne: null}.
