Maybe this is kind a stupid question but, I'm novice in configuring replication and I need to clear something before makeing anything else. Moment ago I configured replica set with 3 members in it. It's all working well but I think I don't understand the part about copying data from primary to secondary member of replica set after new election.
Let's say I made one collection in my primary member, after that kill instance of primary member, election has been made and now I have new instance as primary member on example --port 27018. What happend with all data on first instance which I killed? Do I need to make mongodump? Do I need to use some sync method for instant syncing or read the oplog and how to do that? Beacause, I tought that if I made an replSet, and turn on all three instances which are connected, all of them will listening the same oplog and after election update the database, or I'm completly wrong about that and I'm clearly missing some things?
Thank you!
