      It would be very nice to have the ability to ask mongoDB for a random sample for a given collection. I know this can be done via js but
      I might be much more efficient if this was built in especially for large collections.

      Something like

      blee.find(

      { $rand:1000 }

      ) => retrieves a random sample of size 1k
