Hi all, While testing the HMS API, we've found that the col name part of partition names provided to IMetaStoreClient.getPartitionsByNames method are not handled in a case insensitive matter.
See related test here: https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/client/TestGetPartitions.java#L357 Although col names are handled in a case insensitive way mostly throughout Hive, I'm not sure if this case should be corrected or not. Gut feeling says this should be insensitive too, but I'm afraid changing it would introduce more additional computation than what it's worth. (By separating the partition name, taking the lowercase of all col parts and then recompile the whole string before storing it into HMS DB...) What's your opinion on this? Thanks, Adam
