> Allow configuration changes without restarting configured nodes

>                 Key: HADOOP-7001
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7001
>             Project: Hadoop Common

>            Reporter: Patrick Kling
>
> Currently, changing the configuration on a node (e.g., the name node) 
> requires that we restart the node. We propose a change that would allow us to 
> make configuration changes without restarting. Nodes that support 
> configuration changes at run time should implement the following interface:
> interface ChangeableConfigured extends Configured {
>    void changeConfiguration(Configuration newConf) throws 
> ConfigurationChangeException;
> }
> The contract of changeConfiguration is as follows:
> The node will compare newConf to the existing configuration. For each 
> configuration property that is set to a different value than in the current 
> configuration, the node will either adjust its behaviour to conform to the 
> new configuration or throw a ConfigurationChangeException if this change is 
> not possible at run time. If a configuration property is set in the current 
> configuration but is unset in newConf, the node should use its default value 
> for this property. After a successful invocation of changeConfiguration, the 
> behaviour of the configured node should be indistinguishable from the 
> behaviour of a node that was configured with newConf at creation.
> It should be easy to change existing nodes to implement this interface. We 
> can start by throwing the exception for all changes and then gradually start 
> supporting more and more changes at run time. (We might even consider 
> replacing Configured with ChangeableConfigured entirely, but I think the 
> proposal above afford greater flexibility).
