Description

There are certain situations, such as running Drill in distributed Docker containers, in which it is desirable to advertise a different hostname to Zookeeper than would be output by INetAddress.getLocalHost(). I propose adding a configuration variable 'drill.exec.rpc.bit.advertised.host' and passing this address to Zookeeper when the configuration variable is populated, otherwise falling back to the present behavior.
