title: Does the mongoimport command for a replica set require all replica set members including the arbiter?
body: <p>I am running MongoDB 2.6.2 and I have a replica set with a primary, secondary and an arbiter. Are there any adverse effects to running a mongoimport command with only one or two of the replica set members?</p>
  
  <p>More specifically, does the arbiter need to be specified in the --host option of the mongoimport command? The documentation clearly describes the hostname format (<a href="http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/reference/program/mongoimport/#cmdoption--host" rel="noreferrer">here</a>), but does not warn against how many of the members need to be specified.</p>
