It is possible to reset the rejected queue in the thread pool when it has exceeded the 200 queue size through the API?

These metrics count the rejections since the node was started, so I suppose you can reset them by restarting the node. But I don't understand why you might want to do this.

Probably should have phased the question better. But, I wanted to know if there was a way to reset the queue without restarting the node. I restarted the node and that fixed the issue.
