Hi Nick,

No -- we're doing a much more constrained thing of just trying to get
things set up to easily run TPC-DS on SparkSQL (which involves generating
the data, storing it in HDFS, getting all the queries in the right format,
etc.).
Cloudera does have a repo here: https://github.com/cloudera/impala-tpcds-kit
that we've found helpful in running TPC-DS on Hive (you should also be able
to use that repo to run TPC-DS on Impala, although we haven't actually done
this).
