Test the Spatial Framework for Hadoop UDFs fully integrated with Hive - automated and against multiple Hive versions.

Some time ago, PDK tests were obsoleted, after which:

• Thequery-level tests are not automated, require installation of Hive, and run only against the installed version of Hive.
• Theautomated API unit tests can easily run against different Hive (and Hadoop) versions with Maven profiles, but are incomplete and do not test at query level integrated with Hive.
