Review comment:
I think, this issue doesn't exist in master code.
We use Boolean.parseBoolean to read the "EXTERNAL" property which ignores
case. Also, the fix in the patch is to use equalsIgnoreCase when compare the
TableType and not "EXTERNAL" property which is irrelevant.
If I misunderstood your scenario, please let me know.
Also, it would be better to add a unit test to reproduce this bug in master
code.
