| Description |
DescriptionThe documentation says that a primary steps down if it cannot see a majority of the nodes in its replica set. This is not precise enough, it needs to say: a majority of the voting nodes in its replica set. Actually, since it's not in the documentation, I am not 100% sure whether that information is accurate, but I am fairly certain it is. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/replica-set-elections/#network-partition Scope of changesImpact to Other DocsMVP (Work and Date)Resources (Scope or Design Docs, Invision, etc.) |
