Used to refresh a FeatureType (for example when a new column is added to a PostGIS table)

Functionally this request is similar to recalculate options already provided to refresh bounds information.

Propose refreshAttributes with:

  • flush: clears attribute information from resource pool (and ContentEntry if available)
  • reset: force dispose of DataStore and reconnection

As described in GEOS-6636 DELETE featureType is being used to force GeoServer to clear any cached state associated with a FeaturerType - and then the FeatureType is being recreated from scratch just so a “fresh” list of attributes is obtained. This workflow has introduced problems around the DataStore being “reset” (disposed and created) to avoid attributes cached at the GeoTools level.
