Sharding
Description
It should be very useful to have a --noBalance kind of flag for mongos, so it will not even attempt to acquire a balancer lock.
Main usecases:
- reducing load on config servers in big setups with hundreds of mongoS nodes, explicitly allowing only subset of them to do balancing.
- diagnosing problems with balancer.
