    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    For shards have a large quantity of data that might take
    several minutes to replicate to a new shard, the container
    server teardown timeout might remove the existing primary shard
    before a new primary shard has all of the data. As a result,the
    primary
    shard seems to have lost data because the data did not
    successfully transition from the old primary shard.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Allow a new shard to copy from existing replica shards if the
    old
    primary shard is removed before the transition is complete.
    

Temporary fix
