Revisit the early decision regarding "Remove unused RPCs and disable reconfiguration"

[chenlica]

In #2970 , we decided to "Remove unused RPCs and disable reconfiguration."

@Yicong-Huang @shengquan-ni Can we revisit this decision?

[Yicong-Huang]

I agree we need to reenable them. It was temporarily removed as we are changing our rpc to grpc.

[chenlica]

Thank you @shengquan-ni .

@Yicong-Huang I would like to ask for a meeting to discuss these details. Let's schedule it when you have time. We will include @aglinxinyuan in the meeting.

[Yicong-Huang]

Sure please go ahead.

@aglinxinyuan Please schedule a meeting and report the finding here.

We need @shengquan-ni in the meeting—I’m not familiar with the reconfiguration details. Would 9:00 PM on 1/6 work for everyone?

[chenlica]

@aglinxinyuan Please schedule the meeting offline (using email or Slack). We will report the finding here.

[chenlica]

Thanks. @shengquan-ni Can you chime in?

We have decided to re-enable the reconfiguration feature, and I will lead this effort. This feature highlights our system’s ability to support highly customized interactions, and it is a central focus of two of our papers (Fries and Udon). We believe this capability represents a key strength of our system.
