 Description   

I'm using the go library to connect to a database and Client connection succeeds even when mongod is down. Is this normal?

Hi ngkostoulas,

The Connect method does not ensure that a server exists before returning, it just starts the background goroutine. This behavior is similar to the behavior of database/sql. If you need to ensure that a MongoDB deployment has been connected to, please called Ping.
