I have been reading about upgrading the 3.6 sharded cluster to 4.0. It is said there that we have to convert master-slave replication to replicaset. I have been wondering if there is an detailed documentation between them. Or can you explain the difference. I am asking this question because I couldn’t find any resource from the net or documentation.
Master slave replication is deprecated

Hello @Mashxurbek_Muhammadjonov ,
@Ramachandra_Tummala is right, this replication is deprecated, in addition to that
Are you referring to Remove Master-Slave Replication?
For some background detail on why master-slave replication was used, please check Replica Set Members v3.6 docs
While replica sets are the recommended solution for production, a replica set can support up to
50 membersin total. If your deployment requires more than 50 members, you’ll need to use master-slave replication. However, master-slave replication lacks the automatic failover capabilities.
As mentioned in Remove Master-Slave Replication
MongoDB 4.0 removes support for the deprecated master-slave replication. Before you can upgrade to MongoDB 4.0, if your deployment uses master-slave replication, you must upgrade to a replica set.
