- 1. SSH into the HAWQ master host as the `gpadmin` user:
- ```shell
- $ ssh gpadmin@<HAWQ_MASTER_HOST>

- 2. Source the `greenplum_path.sh` file to update the shell environment:
- ```shell
- $ source /usr/local/hawq/greenplum_path.sh
- ```
- 3. Verify the current value of `default_hash_table_bucket_number`:
- ```shell
- $ hawq config -s default_hash_table_bucket_number
- ```
- 4. Update `default_hash_table_bucket_number` to the new value that you calculated:
- ```shell
- $ hawq config -c default_hash_table_bucket_number -v <new_value>

- 5. Reload the configuration without restarting the cluster:
- ```shell
- $ hawq stop cluster -u

+## <a id="manual-cfg-norestart"></a>Updating HAWQ Configuration Without Cluster Restart
+There may be circumstances, such as during dynamic cluster expansion, when you must update HAWQ configuration parameters but cannot tolerate cluster downtime in your Ambari-managed cluster. In these situations, perform the following workaround to update and reload HAWQ configuration changes without a complete cluster restart.
+
+**Note**: Use this procedure for setting or updating only those HAWQ server configuration parameters with a set classification of `reload`.
+
+1. Use the Ambari console UI to set and save the desired HAWQ configuration parameter(s) via the **HAWQ** service **Settings**, **Configs >Settings**, and/or **Configs >Advanced** tabs. Make sure to note the configuration parameter names and new values. You may need to hover the mouse over the configuration field to identify the HAWQ parameter name.
+
+ **Note**: After updating the configuration parameters, do *not* restart the HAWQ service.
+
+1. Use HAWQ command line utilities to update the same HAWQ configuration parameters:
+ 1. Log in to the HAWQ master host as a HAWQ administrator and source greenplum_path.sh:
+
+ ``` shell
+ $ ssh gpadmin@<master>
+ gpadmin@master$ source /usr/local/hawq/greenplum_path.sh
+ ```
+
+ 2. Identify the current value of the HAWQ configuration parameter:
+
+ ``` shell
+ gpadmin@master$ hawq config -s <parameter_name>
+ ```
+
+ 3. Set the configuration parameter to the new value:
+
+ ``` shell
+ gpadmin@master$ hawq config -c <parameter_name> -v <new_value>
+ ```
+
+ Perform Steps 2 and 3 for each configuration parameter you set or updated via Ambari.
+
+3. Reload the HAWQ configuration; this operation does not restart the cluster:
+
+ ``` shell
+ gpadmin@master$ hawq stop cluster --reload
+ ```
+
+4. Verify that each parameter was updated:
+
+ ```shell
+ gpadmin@master$ hawq config -s <parameter_name>
+ ```
