AWS documentdb documentation change

Summary

Added new documentation page for the $ne query operator with examples in MongoDB Shell, Node.js, and Python, including note about index support in planner version 2.0

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for the $ne query operator with standard code examples. The connection strings include TLS parameters which are standard security practices, but this is routine documentation for a query operator. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident. The mention of 'planner version 2.0 added index support for $ne' is a performance feature, not a security feature.

+
+# $ne
+
+The `$ne` operator is used to match documents where the value of a field is not equal to the specified value. It is a comparison operator that can be used in query predicates to filter documents.
+
+Planner version 2.0 added index support for `$ne`.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+  * `field`: The field to check.
+
+  * `value`: The value to check against.
+
+
+
+
+## Example (MongoDB Shell)
+
+In this example, we'll find all documents in the `users` collection where the `status` field is not equal to `"active"`.
+
+**Create sample documents**
+    
+    
+    db.users.insertMany([
+      { name: "John", status: "active" },
+      { name: "Jane", status: "inactive" },
+      { name: "Bob", status: "suspended" },
+      { name: "Alice", status: "active" }
+    ]);
+
+**Query example**
+    
+    
+    db.users.find({ status: { $ne: "active" } });
+
+**Output**
+    
+    
+    [
+      {
+        _id: ObjectId('...'),
+        name: 'Jane',
+        status: 'inactive'
+      },
+      {
+        _id: ObjectId('...'),
+        name: 'Bob',
+        status: 'suspended'
+      }
+    ]

+Node.js
+    
+    
+    
+    const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
+    
+    async function main() {
+      const client = await MongoClient.connect('mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster-endpoint>:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false');
+      const db = client.db('test');
+      const users = db.collection('users');
+    
+      const result = await users.find({ status: { $ne: 'active' } }).toArray();
+      console.log(result);
+    
+      await client.close();
+    }
+    
+    main();

+    db = client['test']
+    users = db['users']
+    
+    result = list(users.find({ 'status': { '$ne': 'active' } }))
+    print(result)
+    
+    client.close()
