-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add Case-Sensitivity to Column Names
                 Key: HIVE-8004
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8004
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 0.11.0
         Environment: n/a
            Reporter: David Beveridge


Adding an option to adopt case-sensitivity to column names should be considered.

I will use our own case for consideration:  we are using Hive for both Natural Language Processing queries and hosting data for Genetic Algorithms (and querying traits).

In both cases, we need to dynamically generate schema to host the data; meaning that the Column Name in Hive is actually data (as well as its value) and, thus, case-sensitivity matters.
