Such as Docker Environment,  
apm-server cannot reload any configuration variable changes.

to apply a new configuration file, apm-server process must stop, and which leads to docker container shut-down.

For like these use cases, I suggest apm-server process must have an option for Restart or Reload option for apm-server command.
