Dave Barnes updated GEODE-4645: ------------------------------- Description: The create region option `\-\-if-not-exists` (formerly `--skip-if-exists`) is described as follows in the gfsh help: Skip region creation if the region already exists. This is inaccurate, as `create region` *never* creates a duplicate region if one already exists. The option merely de-escalates the response level from "throw an error and stop" to "print an informational message and continue." Here's a suggested replacement for the help message based on the User Guide (edit as you see fit): By default, an attempt to create a duplicate region is reported as an error. If this option is specified without a value or is specified with a value of `true`, then gfsh displays a "Skipping..." acknowledgement, but does not throw an error. was: The create region option `--if-not-exists` (formerly `--skip-if-exists`) is described as follows in the gfsh help: Skip region creation if the region already exists.
