Hi.

No not really, if it's very difficult I will do the hard task of changing the 
code for my model.
I had thought it would be most likely a table in the derby database which would 
contain the table schema and I could change it to the desired case for 
variables.
It looks like there is a lot of underlying code which would be affected by it.
Just deciding on whether waiting for some breakthrough over here or taking the 
hard call of rewriting the model.

Thanks,
Mayank

Mayank,

Just out of curiosity....any other reason other than conventions to preserve 
the case for column names in hive?

Just changing the code is not as easy as it sounds. It sounds like this will 
break many things in production for a lot of people.

Absolutely - case sensitivity would be a big change. In the patch we're playing 
around with we centralized the toLowerCase business in a single method, and can 
turn it on/off per-query.
