Hey,
I've been playing with a couple of plugins (bigdesk and hunspell) and
have noticed that bigdesk does not require a restart while hunspell does.
I'm guessing this is because bigdesk is a site plugin while hunspell is a
jar based plugin.
Is it possible to install jar based plugins without restarting?
Alternatively, is it possible to update some plugin data (eg, the dict/aff
files for hunspell) without restarting the cluster. I know that with native
analyzers/filters (synonym token filter for example) it is possible to
update the synonym file and then that updated synonym file takes affect
when a new index is created that uses it. I also tried dynamically adding a
new locale to the jar which didn't work. My guess is that this is a
limitation of the hunspell plugin.
You can probably restart one by one node and your users won't see it, I guess...
Then, when all nodes are reloaded, you will be able to play with your new features.

Yes, it is kind of a shortcoming of the hunspell plugin, because of the
size of the dictionary, it is loaded as a singleton at plugin start time.
Feel free to submit a patch for dictionary load improvement!
There is a node restart API (well hidden in the docs but it should help).

In my playings, I'm also not able to install jar-based plugins without
restarting. This problem does not seem limited to hunspell only.
Is there any way to install (or update) a jar-based plugin without rolling
the cluster, or how hard would it be to add? Thanks for any insight.

This all looks like too much trickery and hacking. I believe there is a
much simpler way to do that. This should be possible to do in Elasticsearch
core - by explicitly unloading and then reloading the binaries loaded from
the plugins folder. Haven't looked into it yet though.
We will be needing this ourselves in the near future when deploying custom
plugins to a cluster with a couple of dozen servers, and the ability to
update a plugin without restarting the cluster can really come in handy.
We will be going to investigate this and probably contribute our work back,
but it's going to take some time until we get there. If anyone is going to
work on it before, we will be glad to help. And obviously, some hints from
ES core members are always welcome

yes, one would think so. But the same trickery with
classloaders/hotswapping would be necessary ... so, I doubt it will be
included! But one could implement this in a plugin itself
And if you only need to install (no reinstall!) the plugin you could
probably use:
