Description

A lot of config is entered into an RSS configuration, and mistakes can be easily made. Right now, the only way to recover is to manually clean-slate the rack, reconfigure, and retry. There should be a way to update the configuration through wicket and restart initialization. This could be wicket clean-slating under the hood.

Research direction

Start by tracing how wicket accepts RSS configuration and how rack initialization is restarted or clean-slated. Define the supported in-flight update and recovery behavior, then verify that a configuration can be corrected and initialization retried without manually cleaning the rack.
