Description

The following is one of the reasons why we might want to provide an option to disable spark tests :
In the current master branch, unit tests fail with windows OS because of the dependency on "bash" executable in itests/hive-unit/pom.xml around these lines :

                 <target>
                    <exec executable="bash" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
                      <arg line="../target/download.sh"/>
                    </exec>
                  </target>

We should provide an option to disable spark tests in OSes like Windows where bash might be absent. That being mentioned, spark tests will be enabled by default in pre-commit test runs and should still continue to work as it is in the master branch.
