      There is a HostAndPort IDL type, but it does not appear to be supported under 'server_parameters' IDL definitions. Attempting to do so like this:

      server_parameters:
    searchIndexAtlasHostAndPort:
        description: 'Search index Atlas host address'
        set_at: [ startup ]
        type: HostAndPort
        cpp_varname: gSearchIndexParams

      results in an error msg like this:

      ...
Errors found while compiling IDL
search_index_options.idl: (12, 8): ID0008: Unknown IDL node 'type' for YAML entity 'server_parameters'
...

      Instead of an easy IDL definition like above, it's necessary to create a CPP type and leverage it in the IDL, like done in this recent patch commit, where IDL looks like this

       server_parameters:
     searchIndexAtlasHostAndPort:
         description: 'Search index Atlas host address'
         set_at: [ startup ]
         default: ''
         cpp_varname: 'globalSearchIndexParams.host'
         validator:
             callback: 'SearchIndexParams::onValidateHost'

      There is a second use case, doing the exact same thing, in this code.
