James Peach created TS-4463:
-------------------------------
Summary: explicit reconfiguration should not check for file changes
Key: TS-4463
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4463
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Management API
Reporter: James Peach
When an operator runs {{traffic_ctl config reload}} that is an explicit signal
that they want the configuration reloaded. We should not second guess that by
checking whether files are updated like we do today.
One use case for this is when
{{proxy.config.disable_configuration_modification}} is enabled and you change
configuration in memory with the API. It is surprising and confusing to have to
touch {{records.config}} to restore the old values.
Consider whether we should add a {{\-\-changed-only}} flag to only reload
changed configuration. I'm leaning against that but could be persuaded.
