[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-8377) Identifiers caseness information should be available at any time

["Santiago M. Mola (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14710855#comment-14710855 ] 

Santiago M. Mola commented on SPARK-8377:
-----------------------------------------

Right. However, there is no distinction between an identifier that was quoted by the user and one that was not. So the user intent is lost. If we see "a", we don't know if the user wanted strictly "a" or case insensitive "a". So if we have a column "a" and a column "A", which one should we match?

> Currently, we have the option of having a case sensitive catalog or not. A case insensitive catalog just lowercases all identifiers. However, when pushing down to a data source, we lose the information about if an identifier should be case insensitive or strictly lowercase.
> Ideally, we would be able to distinguish a case insensitive identifier from a case sensitive one.
