--------------------------------
Summary: Make Flink case-insensitive to meta object names
Key: FLINK-12624
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12624
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Table SQL / API
Reporter: Bowen Li
Assignee: Bowen Li
Fix For: 1.9.0
currently Flink is case-sensitive to meta object names. For example, for table
names, "t1" and "T1" are two distinct tables in Flink.
There are two main reasons to make Flink case-insensitive to such names.
1) To make it more user-friendly for SQL users. Most popular databases nowadays
are case insensitive to meta object names, to tolerate user typos in SQL
commands and reduce usage friction
2) We chose Hive metastore as the main persistent catalog, and Hive metastore
is case insensitive.
