I misinterpreted the meaning of that statement.  I thought it meant that the 
app could tell slider what port it wanted to use.  Is that possible?

    If you want Slider to allocate a port for you, use a
    ${COMPONENT_NAME.ALLOCATED_PORT} variable in the appConfig, like this:
    
https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/develop/app-packages/hbase/appConfig-default.json#L39
    
    This is typically used for singleton / master ports that need to be known
    by the client, whereas ports that are only used internally by the app can
    be set to 0 so the app selects a random port (if the app supports that). To
    publish the ALLOCATED_PORT, you would specify an export in the metainfo,
    like this:
    
https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/develop/app-packages/hbase/metainfo.xml#L42
    
    If there are multiple instances of a component and each one needs its own
    port, you add {PER_CONTAINER}:
    
https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/develop/app-packages/accumulo/appConfig-default.json#L31
    and then have a component export:
    
https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/develop/app-packages/accumulo/metainfo.xml#L147
