    @paul-rogers Thank you for your helpful suggestions.  I understand what you 
are saying, and indeed, I was using exactly the flow you outlined above for my 
own use case.
    
    Let me make sure I understand what you are proposing.  We can either:
    
    1. Access the host name as an environment variable, in which case we could 
access it via `System.getEnv(...)`
    2. Pass the host name in as a system variable 
(``-Ddrill.exec.rpc.bit.advertised-host=myhost`), which could just override the 
parameter I've already specified in `ExecConstants.java`
    
    In either case, I guess I don't understand why I'd need to add anything to 
`drill-env.sh`, unless you mean just to add a commented out line for 
documentation purposes.  In the second case, is there any change I would need 
to make at all?
