At the moment, a query is the default unit of execution and parallelism in the Impala
performance suite. With this change, we now have the ability to treat a workload as the
unit of execution. A workload is defined as a unique combination of the dataset, scale
factor, a subset (or all) of the queries in the dataset, and a table format (file format,
compression codec and compression scheme).
It introduces two new command line options in bin/run-workload.py:
* --execution_scope
The default scope is 'query', and it maintains previous semantics. The
new scope is 'workload', which toggles the unit of execution to a workload.
* --shuffle_query_exec_order.
Shuffles the order in which queries are executed (only applicable when the
execution_scope if workload), defaults to False.
