It would be helpful to operators of OpenStack clouds if some set of configuration for OpenStack services were reconfigurable on the fly.
At a minimum, we could start with log level, allowing operators to move from INFO to DEBUG in response to issues, then back to INFO once the data needed has been acquired. Ideally, services would notice config file changes and manage themselves entirely without requiring a restart.
Note that this might benefit from sectioning the config file into "dynamic" and "require restart" to help operators know what setting can be changed on the fly.
