Ability to re-configure hadoop daemons online
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6078
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6078
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: mapred
            Reporter: Amar Kamat


Example : 
Like we have _bin hadoop mradmin -refreshNodes_ we should also have _bin hadoop 
mradmin -reconfigure_ which re-configures mr while the cluster is online. Few 
parameters like job-expiry-interval etc can be changed in this way without 
having to restart the whole cluster. 

Master, once reconfigured, can ask the slaves to reconfigure (reload its 
config) from a well defined location on hdfs or via heartbeat. 

We can have some whitelisted configs that have _reloadable_ property.
