Description

Apache RAT is a tool for checking license compliance. We should test license compliance at every commit in the pre-commit CI job, and to do this we should add a test, perhaps to run-all-tests.sh.

Things to be careful of

1. Not every computer will have git, and not every Impala repo will be a git repo. For instance, release tarballs are not git repos.

2. Apache RAT is not a pre-req and not in the chef install script or the toolchain.
