@Jacques, Ted in the mean time, we risk patches being merged that have less than complete > testing.
While I agree with the premise of getting the tests out as soon as possible it does not help us achieve anything except transparency. Your statement that getting the tests out will increase quality is dependent on someone actually being able to run the tests once they have access to it. Maybe we should focus on making a jenkins job to run the tests publicly. With that in place we can exclude the TPC* datasets as well as the yelp data sets from the framework and avoid licensing issues.
