So, I heard the maximum number of nodes a MongoDB replica set can have is 50. And the maximum number of voters it can have is 7. Let's say all 50 are set at Priority 1 and let's say out of the 7 voters, 4 went down. Only 3 can vote. Does this mean that the entire set will not be able to choose a primary even though there's 46 nodes left eligible to become primary? Just because 4 nodes who can actually vote are down? Can I get some rationale on why it was designed this way?
