Gerrit uses a java ssh implementation (MINA iirc) to load the known_hosts file on startup.  If something changes, like you want to update Gerrit to replicate to another server then you must update the known_hosts file and restart Gerrit.  It would be nice to have an admin command to tell Gerrit to reload the known_hosts file so that I don't have to restart it.

The SSH server is handled by MINA, but the client part is JSch.  I was certain this support was already added, but I couldn't find the reference in Gerrit.  Then, I remembered the support was actually added in JGit by this change: https://git.eclipse.org/r/25523

This should already be done (at our site, I no longer restart Gerrit when adding replication servers, and we're currently on 2.10).
