Outline your question
We are currently unable to use Define Statements when running the Ksql Test runner as we are getting an error:

Test Failed: Statement not executable. 
Statement: DEFINE topic = 'test_topic';

I'm wondering if there is a plan to implement it or if there is a suggested way to structure ksql not to use DEFINE statements?
I've had a look around and nobody else to have brought up the issue.
