Can elasticsearch reload its config without dropping requests?
similar to how nginx supports the SIGHUP signal.
As far as I know you cannot "reload" the config like you want. But I suppose you need some changes in your configuration and most of them can be done via API (that don't require restarting the service). I would take a look at these links:
Admin indices update settings
Admin cluster update settings
