      Description

      Hi,

      I would like to suggest the following amendment to the following page:

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/config-database/#config.shards

      Original Text

      If the shard is a replica set, the host field displays the name of the replica set, then a slash, then a comma-separated list of the hostnames of each member of the replica set, as in the following example:

      Proposed Text

      If the shard is a replica set, the host field displays the name of the replica set, then a slash, then a comma-separated list of the hostnames of each non-hidden and data bearing member of the replica set, as in the following example:

      Or something similar.

      Motivation
      Some customer expect that hidden members appear in the shard connection string returned by sh.status(). Adding text similar to the one above should clarify this point.
