MongoCursor::slaveOkay — Sets whether this query can be done on a slave
Calling this will make the driver route reads to slaves if:
Note that you should use this function even if you do not use the automatic routing to slaves. If you connect directly to a secondary in a replica set, you still need to call this function, which basically tells the database that you are aware that you might be getting older data and you're okay with that. If you do not call this, you'll get "not master" errors when you try to query.
This method will override the static class variable MongoCursor::slaveOkay. It will also override Mongo::setSlaveOkay(), MongoDB::setSlaveOkay() and MongoCollection::setSlaveOkay().
If it is okay to query the slave.
Returns this cursor.
Throws MongoCursorException if this cursor has started iterating.
