Reloadable configuration mechanism

[jkroepke]

Hi,

to minimize downtimes on deployments, I would like to ask if its possible to implement a config reload through an rest endpoint or process signal? In combination with https://github.com/Pluies/config-reloader-sidecar, we have a zero downtime deployment.

If an inotify watcher could be nativly implement, the sidecar could be avoid.

For context: If a config map in kubernetes gets changed, the files will be updated in-place.

Same request for log analytics exporter.
