Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-18051:
-----------------------------------------
I think it would be almost the same to cleanup any existing tables prior to
creating them via some \{{drop table if exists ...}} statements. - and that way
we could just forget about this cleanup all together....or another option: we
already have a "table protector hook" which drops every non-protected tables; I
think we may just empty the protected table list in the afterclass phase; and
get back the same output as having hand written "cleanup scripts" which would
just do the same...

> it would be great to have some kind of test dataset support; currently there
> is the {{q_test_init.sql}} which is quite large; and I'm often override it
> with an invalid string; because I write independent qtests most of the time -
> and the load of {{src}} and other tables are just a waste of time for me ;
> not to mention that the loading of those tables may also trigger breakpoints
> - which is a bit annoying.
> Most of the tests are "only" using the {{src}} table and possibly 2 others;
> however the main init script contains a bunch of tables - meanwhile there are
> quite few other tests which could possibly also benefit from a more general
> feature; for example the creation of {{bucket_small}} is present in 20 q
> files.
> the proposal would be to enable the qfiles to be annotated with metadata like
> datasets:
> {code}
> --! qt:dataset:src,bucket_small
> {code}
> proposal for storing a dataset:
> * the loader script would be at: {{data/datasets/__NAME__/load.hive.sql}}
> * the table data could be stored under that location
> a draft about this; and other qfiles related ideas:
