Clarify that discovery ignores master-ineligibles (#44835)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The changes in #32006 mean that the discovery process can no longer use
master-ineligible nodes as a stepping-stone between master-eligible nodes.
This was normally an indication of a strange and possibly-fragile configuration
and was not recommended. This commit clarifies that only master-eligible nodes
are now involved with discovery.

of any master-eligible nodes that were in the last-known cluster. The process
operates in two phases: First, each node probes the seed addresses by
connecting to each address and attempting to identify the node to which it is
connected. Secondly it shares with the remote node a list of all of its known
master-eligible peers and the remote node responds with _its_ peers in turn.
The node then probes all the new nodes that it just discovered, requests their

until it has discovered an elected master node. If no elected master is
