same pulsar-admin should seamlessly work with both brokers and function workers in a distributed environment

I am running Function worker as a separate machine, and pulsar-admin gives this error:

# bin/pulsar-admin functions create   --py c.py   --classname router.RoutingFunction   --tenant c1-d1   --namespace emsaas   --name test1   --inputs persistent://c1-d1/emsaas/in
Function worker service is not done initializing. Please try again in a little while.
Reason: HTTP 503 Service Unavailable

client.conf points to the broker. Changing webServiceUrl to point to the function worker fixes the issue. This is not intuitive and the error message doesn't help. I would expect pulsar-admin to get the Function worker address from the broker somehow and work transparently without the need to use different client.conf's.

Relevant broker log: 172.32.2.235 is the address of the Function worker, and the log that fails it seems to connect to 127.0.0.1.
