Use Case

As a... Devtools developer
I want... to be able to create a MongoClient and start monitoring without running a command
So that... I can have a client with a connection pool that is "running"

User Experience

• What is the desired/expected outcome for the user once this ticket is implemented?
  • MongoClient#connect() no longer sends a ping command.

Dependencies

• COMPASS-9455 - reducing connect latency

Risks/Unknowns

• What could go wrong while implementing this change? (e.g., performance, inadvertent behavioral changes in adjacent functionality, existing tech debt, etc)
• Is there an opportunity for better cross-driver alignment or testing in this area?
• Is there an opportunity to improve existing documentation on this subject?

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Change Topology#connect() to not execute a ping, rather check out a connection from the pool and check it back in.
• Pass a timeout context to pool.checkOut();
• Ensure the CMAP events are not triggered for the initial check in/out

Testing Requirements

• unit test, spec test sync, etc

Documentation Requirements

• DOCSP ticket, API docs, etc

Follow Up Requirements

• additional tickets to file, required releases, etc
• if node behavior differs/will differ from other drivers, confirm with dbx devs what standard to aim for and what plan, if any, exists to reconcile the diverging behavior moving forward
