Hi all drill devs and users!

I have one thought about embedded Drill and would like to discuss it with you.
Drill JDBC driver may start embedded Drill by self (if to make some 
machinations with dependencies) and I think that it is a very useful feature. 
With this opportunity, all people not familiar with Drill may try it in so 
convenient and simple way: add dependencies in pom and just write a few code 
lines of JDBC to make a test. This will leverage the level of entry to Drill 
and may make Drill more famous.

This feature is actually not supported for a now and blocked with a simple 
check<https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/4aefcef2b665c5737471664912a26ef6ed9a6cfc/exec/jdbc/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/jdbc/impl/DrillConnectionImpl.java#L109>
 in Drill JDBC code. What do you think about it? What if we add support for it 
and improve it by adding a convenient way for this case to set up storage 
plugins?

Regards,
Maksym
