Recover the Sharded Cluster if any of the Replica Sets Lose Majority

If your deployment has lost a voting majority in any of your shards or config server's replica sets, you must restore from backups to maintain the consistency and integrity of your stored data.

Warning

The Kubernetes Operator doesn't support forced reconfiguration of a Sharded Cluster in the event of losing the voting majority. Performing forced reconfiguration might result in severe data loss and leave the sharded cluster in an inconsistent state.
