I've got a MongoDB replica set across two datacenters. In my second data center I have some servers that point back to the primary instance in data center 1.

I ran into a connection timeout issue (this happens pretty consistently) on the server, here is the stack trace:

com.mongodb.DBPortPool gotError

Is it possible for the driver to attempt recreate the connections and retry the query? It looks like the next query worked as expected.

I do not see these errors on servers in the same data center as the primary mongodb server

Note: latency between the my app server and the primary mongodb server is ~50 ms

THANKS!
