    Description

      http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/faq/concurrency/#does-a-mongodb-operation-ever-lock-more-than-one-database

      States that "User authentication locks the admin database as well as the database the user is accessing".

      However in 2.6 once completely, upgraded to the 2.6 user authorization model, authentication will only ever take a read lock on the admin db, in the worst case. It will never take locks on non-admin databases. Please clarify the FAQ page with respect to this.
