This is about providing the JPPF client with the ability to reset itself, that is, to drop its server connections, reload its configuration and re-establish the connections, without losing the jobs that were already submitted but not completed. Submitted jobs are handled via the existing built-in failover/recovery mechanisms.

The main goal is to enable a dynamic reconfiguration of an exisiting client, without having to close it and create a new one, and without losing its workload.
