[Feature Request] Rename --dynamic-config-value ➡️ --dynamic-config

[lorensr]

repetitive and doesn't fit pattern:

This was intentionally named --dynamic-config-value in temporalio/temporalite-archived#136 because there is already a server concept called "dynamic config" which is a bunch of dynamic config values, and there is also a concept of a dynamic config file which contains a dynamic config. This is for setting a single dynamic config value, not for setting dynamic config (maybe we will want setting full dynamic config one day, though easily done via config (which is via dynamic config file)).

[lorensr]

After reading the docs:

https://docs.temporal.io/references/dynamic-configuration

I don't see the issue with calling an individual key/value pair a "dynamic config". I think you're saying the server code calls the set of pairs a dynamic config, and a set of things is different from an individual thing? To me it seems like most CLI users won't know about that distinction, and that it's not important for them to know?

Pro adding an option for dynamic config file, since I think you can't use constraints with the current option? Would use --dynamic-config-file <path> for that.

there was some discussion that the dynamic config can be part of the unified Server & UI config #184

If so we will not need a separate flag for dynamic config file. What do you think of this?

[cretz]

I think for setting a value using dynamic-config-value makes sense and setting a file dynamic-config-file makes sense and in general setting a dynamic config <something> using dynamic-config-<something> makes sense. But it's not a strongly held opinion.

What is more strongly held is that this is deployed software. You can't just go changing CLI options of this software IMO. SDK team already relies on this in multiple repositories, who knows how many others do. And even if you feel like you can change CLI options of this software, we should require a better justification for backwards incompatible alterations.

Is it easy to keep the current option working and hide it from help output? If not, or if others don't think it's an improvement, okay to close!
