Description
This is a stopgap replica placement strategy that randomly selects a node in the cluster (as long as no other replicas of that shard already live on that node), to be made available in 8x for users that need a performant option until they can upgrade to 9.0.
This has proven to be a valuable strategy for my use case, as it allows for really fast replica placement (-> fast collection creation, fast rebalancing, etc.), but it does not explicitly respect Autoscaling policies, so should be used wisely.
