How to properly reload the schema in runtime

[andrey-nakin]

I'm using graphql-java-tools together with graphql-spring-boot-starter in a Spring Boot application. I need to sometimes (infrequently) refresh the GraphQL schema.

What is the proper way to do this?

I tried to add my own implementation of GraphQLSchemaServletProvider to the Spring context. This implementation returns a shared instance of GraphQLSchema and rebuilds it when needed. It seems to work but it somehow has broken the application. At least, some integration tests with mocked beans stopped passing.
