Description

A patch was recently submitted that allows data load and end-end tests to run against a remote cluster. At its core was this file:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-impala/blob/master/bin/remote_data_load.py

However, while this script relies on several changes to existing build and test scripts, nothing else in turns relies on it. In retrospect, it does not make sense to have this script in the Impala repo if nothing can use it externally.
