Good point, @markhamstra. I should have mentioned this in the JIRA. I
think we should add the test files / answers to the repository (similar to how
things are done in Hive). I just didn't do that for this PR because adding all
of those files made the PR *way* too large to review easily.
There is also code in the harness for pulling the tests out of jar files
that could be published properly (though we would have to do this since hive
does not AFAICT). However, doing things this way makes it much harder for your
average developer to add a new query test, so I don't really like this strategy.
