**Review Only** Apexcore 408 Pull request for dynamic dag modification through stats listener. It provides following functionality - StatsListener can access the opearator name for easily detecting which opearator stats are being processed. - StatsListener can create a instance of object through which it can submit dag modifications to the engine. - StatsListener can return dag changes as a response to engine. - PlanModifier is modified to take a DAG and apply it on the existing running DAG and deploy the changes. The following functionality is not working yet. - The new opearator does not start from the correct windowId (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-532) - Relanched application failed to start when it was killed after dynamic dag modification. - There is no support for resuming operator from previous state when they were removed. This could be achived through readig state through external storage on setup. - persist operator support is not present for newly added streams. - Not all parts are covered through tests. The demo application using the feature is available at https://github.com/tushargosavi/apex-dynamic-scheduling There are two variations of WordCount application. The first variation detects the presence of new files start a disconnected DAG to process the data. (https://github.com/tushargosavi/apex-dynamic-scheduling/blob/master/src/main/java/com/datatorrent/wordcount/WordCountApp.java) The second application (https://github.com/tushargosavi/apex-dynamic-scheduling/blob/master/src/main/java/com/datatorrent/wordcount/ExtendApp.java), initially only one reader operator is running in the DAG, and provides pendingFiles as auto-metric to stat listener. On detecting pending files it attaches splitter counter and output operator to the read operator. Once files are processed the splitter, counter and output operators are removed and added back again if new data files are added into the directory.
