----------------------------------------------------------------

Since there is a use case where specific configuration gets added to the cluster before
{code:java}
import cluster-configuration{code}
is called, we need to have the option to wipe out any existing configuration when importing a preferred configuration.

The proposal is to add the option -force: 
{code:java}
import cluster-configuration --force{code}
The behavior of the -force is that any existing configuration on the cluster will be replaced with the configuration provided in the import command.

--force is not provided by default and the default value if provided is false.

>             Project: Geode
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: docs, gfsh, management
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.5.0
>            Reporter: Pulkit Chandra
>            Priority: Major
>
> We want to provide support to export /import config and data. We dont have the ability to just run locators and not servers as we use BOSH to manage Geode, which is required for `import` today
> **Why** : As a operator if data contained in Geode is important, I would like to ensure I can back it up. Use cases range from ensuring your data doesnt get lost to migrating your data to another cluster.
> **How**: `Import` and `export` command should be the way to go
> **Limitations**: Cant have locators running and servers not running. Full cluster would be running before import is called. We can do rolling restart, if that is needed.
