Description

Hi,

I would like to suggest the following amendment to the following page:

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/config-database/#config.shards

Original Text

If the shard is a replica set, the host field displays the name of the replica set, then a slash, then a comma-separated list of the hostnames of each member of the replica set, as in the following example:

Proposed Text

If the shard is a replica set, the host field displays the name of the replica set, then a slash, then a comma-separated list of the hostnames of each non-hidden and data bearing member of the replica set, as in the following example:

Or something similar.

Motivation
Some customer expect that hidden members appear in the shard connection string returned by sh.status(). Adding text similar to the one above should clarify this point.

Scope of changes

Impact to Other Docs
