Negative wtimeout

What changes in Negative wtimeout compared with MongoDB and what your application has to do.

This difference is of the Stronger guarantee kind.

What MongoDB does

With w: "majority" and a negative wtimeout, it sometimes answers WriteConcernTimeout.

What TeselaDB does

A negative wtimeout gives no error. The write answers once the requested replicas have it.

What your application has to do

Use a wtimeout of 0 or more; a negative value makes no sense.
