    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.
