Hi Which Nutch version are you using? If you use old Nutch which might work stand-along then yes, you need to restart Tomcat in order to initialize new index otherwise some functionality will not work.
But if you are using a current version and use solr as indexer then you don't need to restart Tomcat. For old Nutch I wrote code (in NutchBean) which reinitialized index and eliminated necessity of restarting but it was a year ago.
