      Three Node Replica Set (2 data bearing, 1 arbiter)
    • ALL

      1. Setup three node replica set (2 data bearing, 1 arbiter) and run mongod with '--maxConns 5'.
      2. Ensure that the primary (A) has an replica set member configuration _id less than the secondary (B).
      3. Use mongo shell to connect repeatedly to A such that replica set heartbeats from the arbiter or B fail to connect to A.

Use mongo shell to connect repeatedly to A such that replica set heartbeats from the arbiter or B fail to connect to A.

      Because of this line, it's possible for two primaries to exist simultaneously if the "old" primary has an _id less than the "new" primary. "old" primary will stay in PRIMARY state until restarted.
