Restart postgresql if postgresql.conf changed

Michael Kozono requested to merge mk-restart-postgres-if-conf-changed into master

Restarts postgresql if postgresql.conf changed because:

  1. It must be done for changes to take effect
  2. For certain changes, it confusingly causes reconfigure to fail, requiring a chain of restart, reconfigure, restart, reconfigure during Geo setup
  3. It is tedious
  4. Customers can use a PG HA setup to avoid downtime
  • Create EE (and CE if needed) MR to update docs due to reconfigure will restart Postgres on postgresql.conf changes

Closes #2797 (closed), closes #2526
