----------------------------------------
Hi Jay,
There are two things I can think of that might help development of such a tool:
a) One possible place to look into for this is to look at the test framework
section. For example, look at our TestCli framework over at
ql/src/test/templates/TestCliDriver.vm and
./ql/src/test/templates/TestNegativeCliDriver.vm which manage our .q and .q.out
tests.
b) The other route I'd suggest is by directly launching a Hive Driver, as done
in tests like
hcatalog-pig-adapter/src/test/java/org/apache/hive/hcatalog/pig/TestE2EScenarios.java
> Support a mechanism for running hive locally that doesnt require having a
> hadoop executable.

> Mapreduce has a "local" mode by default, and likewise, tools such as pig and
> SOLR do as well,.... maybe we can have a first class local mode for hive
> also.
> For local integration testing of a hadoop app, it would be nice if we could
> fire up a local hive instance which didnt require "bin/hadoop" for running
> local jobs. This would allow us to maintain polyglot hadoop applications
> much easier by incorporating hive into the integration tests. For example:
> {noformat}
> LocalHiveInstance hive = new LocalHiveInstance();
> hive.set("course","crochet")l
> hive.runScript("hive_flow.ql")l
> {noformat}
> Would essentially run a local hive query which mirrors
> {noformat}
> hive -f hive_flow.ql -hiveconf course=crochet
> {noformat{
> It seems like thee might be a simple way to do this, at least for small data
> sets, by putting some kind of alternative (i.e. in memory) execution
> environment under hive, if one is not already underway ?
