Greetings Ambari Devs & Users!
Currently Ambari requires users to restart the service when its corresponding configuration is updated. *Restarting the service would cause downtime*. There are configurations which can be updated without restarting the service. On AMBARI-17241 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17241>, I've proposed a new feature to support the functionality of *applying configurations without restarting the service*. Inviting you to add your thoughts and suggestions for the proposal here: *https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17241 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17241>* Here are some relevant links associated with this feature: Design Document: http://bit.ly/29IkE4L Presentation from Ambari Meetup: http://bit.ly/29zeZQn Demo: https://youtu.be/bWoHg7mL3-U Regards Matt
