MongoDB Enhancements to PDB

[edrose]

Name and Version

bitnami/mongodb 6.3.0

What is the problem this feature will solve?

The notes for the chart state the following:

NOTE: An update takes your MongoDB(®) replicaset offline if the Arbiter is enabled and the number of MongoDB(®) replicas is two. Helm applies updates to the StatefulSets for the MongoDB(®) instance and the Arbiter at the same time so you lose two out of three quorum votes.

This isn't strictly true. Helm does update both at the same time, however Kubernetes disrupts both the cluster and the arbiter at the same time because the pod disruption budgets are configured to allow it to.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Rather than installing separate pdbs for the mongo cluster and the arbiter, install just a single pdb with selector labels that cover both. Kubernetes will then only allow a single pod of the set of three to go offline at once, solving the issue stated in the notes.

What alternatives have you considered?

Currently I've disabled pdb creation in the chart and I've deployed a custom pdb to cover both the replicas and the arbiter.
