Info
In order to work correctly, the merging logic on mongos needs to know that a cursor is tailable. An aggregation with a $changeNotification is tailable, but doesn't communicate that information, so the merging logic mistakenly hangs, repeatedly asking for the next document, since the cursor id is never set to 0.
