Window query (get before and after)

Hi i have sorted collection by EntryDate:

{
  "_id" : "5e4a8e13b0b2ddcad37fa308",
  "EntryDate" : ISODate("2020-02-17T12:59:00.023Z"),
  "Text" : "randomtext"
}

I know EntryDate point. I need take 5 items before and 5 items after this point. Now i do 2 query, can in optimization to 1 query?

var top  =  col.Find(c.EntryDate < point).SortByDescending(c => c.EntryDate).Limit(5);
var down =  col.Find(c.EntryDate > point).Sort(c => c.EntryDate).Limit(5);
var result = top.Concat(down);

You can try using the $facet aggregation. This allows multiple sub-pipelines (two in this case - one for before and the other for after) and then combine as one result within the same aggregation.

What (but)? Any concerns or issues.? It helps to think further if you are a bit more specific.

mb mongodb not for this case ?
