---------------------------------------
Summary: Simplify tests that copy local files to tables
Key: IMPALA-6709
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6709
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer
tests/query_test/ contains several tests that use "hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal" to
fill tables with files that cannot be created with Impala. The current way of
doing this looks like "copy paste" and adds unnecessary complexity to the test
code. The common pattern of "create a table, copy 1-2 files to it" could be
covered by a single function, or could be moved to the .test files, which can
support SHELL sections.
for an example of SHELL section, see
