For anyone curious. This function called from the gateway scope will "restart" the history provider:

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway

def restartHist(prov):
	context = IgnitionGateway.get()
	tagHistMan = context.getTagHistoryManager()
	tagHistProv = tagHistMan.getTagHistoryProvider(prov)
	tagHistProv.shutdown()
	tagHistProv.startup()

(Be aware that messing with the historian DB tables or SDK can seriously mess up your historian or gateway.) Use at your own risk. Don't use in production.
