Issue XD-2288: Research how to use 'admin' server ports from ZK
As a user, I'd like to have the ability to access the random port (generated by tomcat) of the admin server (via _xd-shell_) so that I can point to the server and continue my interactions. *Spike Details:* * Research whether connecting _xd-shell_ directly to ZK is a good approach or have a LB in-charge for the interaction. * How about something other than a pointer to a ZK directory in the shell for folks to experiment a bit before getting a LB involved? *Note:* On some hadoop/hdfs setups access to zk is mandatory from hdfs client libs. There are some HA and federation setups which would anyway require xd shell to get access to zk if fs shell commands are used.
