Hi Ram, Yes, this parameter is only applicable when SASL is enabled, see in QuorumCnxManager#initializeAuth how it doesn't have a chance to use the parameter when SASL is disabled.
Your assessment is correct about it being based on the number of participants, excluding observers. This parameter is used in QuorumCnxManager, which manages connections for leader election, and observers do not participate in the election. -Flavio > On 12 Dec 2019, at 14:41, rammohan ganapavarapu <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Any idea? > > On Wed, Dec 11, 2019, 2:23 PM rammohan ganapavarapu <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> And to add more on the same property, the description says >> >> >> >> >> >> *"For example, consider a 3-node cluster,# during quorum formation at >> least 3 outgoing connection requests and 3 incoming connection# requests >> will occur.
