In "Deploy a Geographically Redundant Replica Set", the following advice appears:
Deploy a Geographically Redundant Three-Member Replica Set
For a geographically redundant three-member replica set deployment, you must decide how to distribute your system. Some possible distributions for the three members are:
- Across Three Data Centers: One members to each site.
- Across Two Data Centers: Two members to Site A and one member to Site B. If one of the members of the replica set is an arbiter, distribute the arbiter to Site A with a data-bearing member.
While these are both valid configurations, the documentation should perhaps mention (here) that the three-site solution has several advantages over the two-shard solution, especially for CSRS config servers.
