[jira] [Created] (IMPALA-6709) Simplify tests that copy local files to tables

Csaba Ringhofer created IMPALA-6709:
---------------------------------------

             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
