Queries matching null value should be fully covered by index

      Because of issue closing SERVER-18653 I open a feature request for the important improvement.

      Assume, we have a collectoin with documents like

      {}, {a:1}, {a:[]}, {a:null}
      

      Also we have an non sparse index on "a" field.

      If we query all documents where a doesnt exist or null with {a: null}, an engine always fetches documents even having field indexed.

      Need to improve query planner to allow query null valued field and to build an index which can detect collisions with array values.
