Instance of this class are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date state of the cluster, and possibly cache resources related to this, including background threads for monitoring, and connection pools.

Instances of this class serve as factories for MongoDatabase instances.

Instances of this class can be created via the MongoClients factory.
