KNOX-2915 - We need reloadDescriptors() when starting the monitors (#761)
The reason being is that HXR parser might generated new desciptors that were
not picked up earlier but Knox needs to handle them.
> Knox should update topologies before deploying them

> Key: KNOX-2915
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-2915
> Project: Apache Knox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.6.0, 1.6.1
> Reporter: Sandor Molnar
> Assignee: Sandor Molnar
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
> Time Spent: 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> During the gateway startup, Knox executes the following steps (among others)
> in this order:
> # reloads/redeploys topologies
> # triggers descriptors reload to trigger service discovery (see KNOX-2301)
> The problem with this approach is, that in the case of dynamic Kerberos
> settings (variable keytab path and principal name), Knox may deploy a
> topology with old settings that are no longer valid, and only a couple of
> seconds later (in my test environment it was between 10-20 seconds for a
> particular topology) it redeploys the topology with up-to-date configuration.
> This might be irrelevant if that topology is not used in that small time
> window, however, there is a chance that Knox will fail to serve the request
> with an error message similar to this:
> {noformat}
