This project will enable Atlas validation checking to be much more reliable, and could allow us to start running validate on live Atlas nodes instead of spawning temporary copies for that purpose.

Summary

This project is to improve the validate command to address the failures we identified when running validate in Atlas. There were a small number of replica sets that validation can never complete.

Motivation

Atlas wants to run validate command continuously. Thus it has to behave predictably. In case of failure of validate command, it should be easy to understand the reason and come up with the actions to be taken before retrying.
