2.2.6 Policy Monitoring
*******
- Runtime capability to upgrade Policies, change mode of operation for policies (for example: safe mode, test mode) and ability to preserve state for minor/patch version upgrades
- Runtime modes for safe mode, test mode will be implemented as another line of defense against policy conflicts and resolution
- Policies are be possible to specify and deploy at run time without restarting components or stopping policy processing
- PDPs scale horizontally
- Policies are upgradable with state preserved within the limitations of semantic versioning (State preserved for minor/patch version upgrades), see 2.
- Policy API will support Lifecycle management for policies that are deployed such as modes and retirement. This additional requirement is better suited for the new proposed Policy Lifecycle API than the current API.
