That’s what I thought, it’s a shame! Thanks Saisai,

Currently configuration is a part of checkpoint data, and when recovering from failure, Spark Streaming will fetch the configuration from checkpoint data, so even if you change the configuration file, recovered Spark Streaming application will not use it. So from my understanding currently there's no way to handle your situation.
