             Summary: Improve error reporting when a member is unable to contact a locator
                 Key: GEODE-7861
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-7861
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: membership
            Reporter: Dan Smith


When a member is unable to contact a join the system due to a failure to contact a locator, we could be a lot more specific, which would help users debug issues in their environment. We currently print out 

{noformat}
Unable to join the distributed system.  Operation either timed out, was stopped or Locator does not exist.
{noformat}

We should include the underlying exception from the last locator we tried to contact as a cause, so that users can see why it failed (DNS error, ???). Perhaps also the list of locators we tried to contact.
