      As per the docs, you must set writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault to false if you are running voting, but non-journaling, nodes in your replica set:
      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/replica-configuration/#rsconf.writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault
      If you do not do this, the effect will be that your majority writes may hang if a majority of nodes includes a non-journaling node.
      A worse effect is that if you also use --enableMajorityReadConcern, the commit level will never advance, and so the majority snapshot never advances. This can eventually fill up cache memory with write history.
