      Original Downstream Change Summary

      The $first/$last operator in $setWindowFields will now set null to missing fields to be consistent with $first/$last in $group.

      Description of Linked Ticket

      When the attribute tracked by first/last in the first/last document in the window has a missing attribute the functions return empty results. This is incorrect. According to the documentation they should return null to be consistent with the $group behaviour.
