Description

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.
