Description
1. Create a distributed table,
2. Kill one of the workers
3. Create another distributed table
Result
Table creation fails with an error message saying second table can not be colocated with the first one, user did not wanted to colocate the table, just wanted to create a distributed table. We should provide a better message saying what to do here.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the three-step worker-failure scenario described in the issue and locating the source of the colocation error message. Review the surrounding distributed-table creation path to determine what guidance is available, then verify that the resulting message explains what the user should do when creating the second table.
