Description

localhost is hard-coded into the setup-ranger function that was recently added to create-load-data.sh, e.g.:

https://github.com/apache/impala/blame/master/testdata/bin/create-load-data.sh#L325

This works when testing on a mini-cluster, but breaks data load if setting up to run the functional test suite against an actual cluster. In that scenario, the host that runs the script is simply a test runner, with no locally running services.
