Provide way to reload conf file for new API keys without shutdown.

Feature Request

Problem Description

Currently, as far as I can tell, if we get a new configuration for analyzers, it requires us to stop and start cortex. This could cause failures on currently running analysis, that shouldn't have to happen. Instead a mechanism to either check conf every N seconds (configurable) for changes, and if change reload, or manually request reload of config would be helpful to ensure currently running analysis would not be interrupted .

Hi @JohnOmernik,

Thank you for your feature request. This is indeed a must-have that we have been thinking about for some time. We will be considering it for the next major version (1.1.0).

Playframework doesn't provide any mechanism to reload configuration without restart the application (unless you run application in development mode).
This issue will be fixed when persistence (database) will be added to Cortex.
