      1. Bring up a 3-node replica set where 2 of the nodes are arbiters
      2. Connect to the non-arbiter node
      3. Try to insert a document using a majority write concern and with a timeout
    • RPL 9 (09/18/15)

      This is happening in 3.1.7. This does not happen with 3.1.6.

      In the case of a 3-node replica set where all the nodes are running WiredTiger and 2 of the nodes are arbiters, an insert with writeConcern set to majority (and with a timeout) times out.

      This does not happen with MMAPv1
