Errors on Hot Reloading (Java)

[rshmhrj]

Describe the bug

This config works fine normally, but when we are working on a dev laptop, with devtools running, saving changes within the codebase causes a hot reload. The UnleashClientConfig reloads and there is still an unleash bean running in the ApplicationContext. The ConditionalOnMissingBean doesn't trigger on Hot Reload, so new DefaultUnleash(unleashConfig) runs and spits out some errors:

You already have 2 clients for Unleash Configuration [apiKey:[unleash_poc_test:development.71e80e487cc0978bf98c03d0898f34479a933188665bcc07fa19f9c7] appName:[development] instanceId:[d429963b-f006-48c0-9a3b-058b8cf411ac]] running. Please double check your code where you are instantiating the Unleash SDK

Every time we save, it throws the errors.

    public Unleash unleash(UnleashConfig unleashConfig) {

}

I tried fixing by checking to see if the bean was already running and kept facing circular dependency errors.
Tried with the normal singleton pattern, @Scope("singleton"), trying to find the bean from the ApplicationContext and they all kept failing for circular dependencies.

With the below code change, the server starts, but as soon as I hit an endpoint and the bean is initialized, it fails with BeanCreationException:

Steps to reproduce the bug

No response

Expected behavior

I saw in the docs that there is a shutdown() method which could probably be used, but I'm not sure where or how to set that up. Is there any known way of dealing with the bean recreation during hot reloading?

Logs, error output, etc.

Hi, we don't consider this a bug. Better support for hot reload is a feature request and we don't currently have capacity to do this. We do have capacity to look at a PR though if you'd like to have a stab at fixing it yourself.
