Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5772:
----------------------------------------

Incidentally, as I struggle to bring up a cluster where no machine knows their 
hostname/IPAddr until they have opened their IPC and http ports, it would be 
very good for the worker nodes -TT and DN- to be tweaked to reread the conf 
file every time they try looking up the address:port of the master nodes. That 
would allow the namenode and job tracker to restart on different hosts and have 
all the workers bond to them once their configurations are updated. 

> Implement a 'refreshable' configuration system with right access-controls etc.
