I have mentioned this before, and I think this a big miss by the Hive team. Like, by default in many SQL RDBMS (like MSSQL or MYSQL) is not case sensitive. Thus when you have new users moving over to Hive, if they see a command like "like" they will assume similarity (like many other SQL like qualities) and thus false negatives may ensue. Even though it's different by default (I am ok with this ... I guess, my personal preference is that it matches the defaults on other systems, and outside of that (which I am, in in the end fine with, just grumbly :) ) give us the ability to set that behavior in the hive-site.xml. That way when an org realizes that it is different, and their users are all getting false negatives, they can just update the hive-site and fix the problem rather than have to include it in training that may or may not work. I've added this comment to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4070#comment-13666278 for fun. :)
