Description

Cluster configuration, including cluster.xml and cluster.properties, used to be stored in the filesystem of each locator. Before an `import cluster-configuration` command would run, that configuration directory would be copied and renamed to back up the existing configuration. As of GEODE-2197, the cluster.xml and cluster.properties files are no longer stored on disk, so this backup strategy will no longer work. Instead, we probably should automatically run `export cluster-configuration` before proceeding with the import.
