Bill Burcham commented on GEODE-8739:
-------------------------------------
We aren't going to change the product in response to this discovery.
The task is to see if there is an appropriate place to document the fact that
if an operator shuts down a whole cluster and leaves storage for .dat files
intact, that they should delete those .dat files before restarting the cluster.
> Split brain when locators exhaust join attempts on non existant servers

> The hypothesis: "if there is a locator view .dat file with several
> non-existent servers then then locators will waste all of their join attempts
> on the servers instead of finding each other"
> Scenario is a test/user attempts to recreate a cluster with existing .dat and
> persistent files. The locators are spun in parallel and from the analysis,
> it looks like they are able to communicate with each other, but then end up
> forming their own ds.
