    Description

      Currently, any issues at startup with columnstore w/ cmapi generically share a static message
      `Config distribution isn't successful`
      To understand the real error, you need to read /var/log/messages and interpret the results. But for new users/customer support the generic message is confusing

      Per Internal Notes:
      https://mariadbcorp.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Support/pages/1576370225/Errors+seen+before#mcsStart%5BhardBreak%5D%22error%22%3A-%22Config-distribution-isn't-succesfull.%22

      Possible Reasons:
      *could be col.xmls - bad syntax or not matching up, 
      *dbroots not lining up or accessible, 
      *cmpai not online on all machines,
       *permission issues on temp dirs, 
      *could be loadbrm failing because unreadable extent map 
      *Could be /var/lib/columnstore/.secrets defined but the CEJ user password not encrypted
       
      the cmapi log and var log messages should have a tiny bit more detail
