      When picking up new checkpoints, we expect either checkpoint.checkpoint_meta or checkpoint.checkpoint_id to be set. Currently, if neither are set, we pick a special "none" value and roll with that. But this behaviour should be better specified – ideally, MongoDB should always be able to specify a checkpoint ID, so perhaps we should fail if one is not provided.
