Hey Pawel, My intention is to start working on it, but I don't know exactly how long it will take, and I'm not a committer, so time estimates would have to be taken with a grain of salt regardless. If this is something that you need urgently, it may not be ideal to wait for me to start building something for yourself.
That said, as mentioned in the other thread, dynamic configuration can be done by refreshing the configuration files across the set of Flume agents. It's certainly not as great as having a single place to change it (e.g. ZooKeeper), but it's a way to get the job done.
