      Since MongoDatabase instances are immutable, it's quite confusing to have mutable Mongo/MongoClient properties that have no effect on MongoDatabase/MongoCollection instances. In particular,

      MongoClient client = new MongoClient();   // w : 1
      client.setWriteConcern(WriteConcern.REPLICA_ACKNOWLEDGED);
      MongoDatabase database = client.getDatabase();  // w : 1
      database.insertOne(new Document(...));   // still w : 1
      

      This is different than the behavior of the now-deprecated Mongo#getDB method.

      So we should document this, and at the same time deprecate the following methods on Mongo:

      • setReadPreference
      • setWriteConcern
      • setOptions
      • resetOptions
      • addOption
      • getOptions
