Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-6808:
----------------------------------------
bq. Reconfiguration is different than the various 'refresh*' commands. They
just do different things.
I'd argue that from the user-perspective, this isn't true. If I change the
dfs.data.dir layout, won't \-reconfig drop previous data directories and load
the new ones? How is this different than what happens with -refreshNodes,
other than being a different type of object?
> Add command line option to ask DataNode reload configuration.

> The workflow of dynamically changing data volumes on DataNode is
> # Users manually changed {{dfs.datanode.data.dir}} in the configuration file
> # User use command line to notify DN to reload configuration and updates its
> volumes.
> This work adds command line support to notify DN to reload configuration.
