Since a use case for a mongodb replica set is a base for analyses and learning cases (i.e a read-only database), is it possible/advisable to, in a replica set mongodb network, have an instance running on my laptop that will sync when connected to the net and then act as an offline read only set when not?
To put a point on it,
- will this replica set be stable when the laptop is put to sleep/opened/etc?
- will the intermittent availability of this set jeopardize an otherwise robust replicated database (say, with one primary, two arbiters and always on secondaries)?
Other questions that touch upon this but don't answer it directly (AFAIK) are
In these cases setting the arbiter correctly seems to do the trick, so maybe my crazy idea would work?
Thanks in advance.
