Description

Document how to start up an embedded Drillbit inside your
an application. Use a complete JDBC driver (rather than
the remote-only driver).
The standalone jdbc-all driver is designed to be a remote driver. As such, you must have zookeeper and a separate Drill daemon up and running to leverage it. If you want to embed a Drillbit inside your application, you'll need to source the same classpath that the drillbit.sh start-up script sources.

If you just try to use the jdbc jar that gets shipped, you get this exception:

java.sql.SQLException: Running Drill in embedded mode using the JDBC jar
alone is not supported.
