------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 2.7.0
> WASB : Make metadata checks case insensitive
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-17643
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17643
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Reporter: Anoop Sam John
> Assignee: Anoop Sam John
> Priority: Major
>
> WASB driver uses meta data on blobs to denote permission, whether its a place
> holder 0 sized blob for dir etc.
> For storage migration users uses Azcopy, it copies the blobs but will cause
> the metadata keys to get changed to camel case. As per discussion with MSFT
> Azcopy team, this is a known issue and technical limitation. This is what
> Azcopy team explained
> "For context, blob metadata is implemented with HTTP headers. They are case
> insensitive but case preserving.
> There is a known issue with the Go language. The HTTP client that it provides
> does this case modification to the response headers before we can read the
> raw values, so the destination metadata keys have a different casing than the
> source. We’ve reached out to the Go Team in the past but weren’t successful
> in convincing them to change the behaviour. We don’t have a short term
> solution right now"
> So propose to change the metadata key checks to do case insensitive checks.
> May be make case insensitive check configurable with defaults to false for
> compatibility.
