Hi Vihang, +1 on the idea.
This is a great idea to quickly test if a certain feature is working as expected on a certain branch. This way we test data loss, correctness, or any other unexpected scenarios that are Hive specific only. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to deploy/test in a kerberized environment or issues involving authorization services like sentry/ranger. Thanks, Sai.
