[Spark SQL - Scala] TestHive not working in Spark 2

[Nicolas Tallineau]

I get a nullPointerException as soon as I try to execute a TestHive.sql(...) 
statement since migrating to Spark 2 because it's trying to load non existing 
"test tables". I couldn't find a way to switch to false the loadTestTables 
variable.

I'm using Spark 2.1.0 in this case.

Am I missing something or should I create a bug in Jira?
