 Description   

I get confused by terms in MongoDB documentation. In documentation it is mixed: sometimes a MongoDB instance is named node sometimes member.

See https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/replica-states/ it says

... each member of a replica set has a state that reflects...
and see https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/replica-set-primary/ it says

In some circumstances, two nodes in a replica set may transiently believe that they are the primary, but at most, one of them will be able to complete writes with

{ w: "majority" }

write concern. The node that can complete

{ w: "majority" }

writes is the current primary, and the other node is a former primary that has not yet recognized its demotion, typically due to a network partition

Why documentation uses node and member not only one of them? Choose one and stick to it.
