I was going exploring hive functional testing framework, found that validator is yahoo's frameworks and fit into maha needs. We can actually give thought about integrating this into maha itself as it can work as query validator. Currently we do not have unit test for hive in maha which actually runs the query on hive data source. Validator can work as query syntax validator and kind of functional testing for hive query generator.
