Add new data directory during runtime

Is it possible to add more data directories by changing the
configuration `dfs.data.dir' during runtime?

Since configuration file is loaded when a datanode starts up,
it's not possible to have the change in "dfs.data"dir" applied in runtime.

Please let me know if I'm wrong.
