I am trying to figure out how to handle the following case:
1. Connect to mongo server successfully
2. Network issues prevents connection between the driver to Mongo
3. Driver sends a query.

I want to be able in that case to understand that the server is down and use a fallback implementation.

I found the following stackoverflow question, but was hoping it relates to an outdated version.
