MongoDB Error 289: Majority Write Concern Lag
Description
This error indicates an issue with the `waitForMajority` service in a MongoDB replica set, specifically when a write operation with `w: 'majority'` is unable to determine a stable majority commit point. It often occurs when replica set members are out of sync, during recovery from rollbacks, or if the commit point is lagging behind the expected op time.

Recent Replica Set Rollback

Network Connectivity Issues
Intermittent network problems between replica set members prevent timely communication and majority acknowledgment.
Misconfigured Write Concern
A write operation is requesting `w: 'majority'` but the replica set state or configuration makes it difficult to achieve promptly.
