------------------------------------
[~alangates] I understand more clearly now why you have some concerns regarding
that JIRA.
bq. Are you concerned that having upper case names for DataNucleus generated
tables but lower case names for transaction tables is confusing? I don't see
that as an issue since these tables are not a public interface.
First time I launched the script for posgres, I saw the new tables was lower
case but all other tables was in upper case. I believed it was a bug. If this
not an issue, I think we can close this JIRA.
It's just confusing. Every tables in Metastore rely on same upper case policy
and naming conventions.
The only problem is when we will extend Jdbc stats provider or provide access
to this lower cased tables though DataNucleus.
Plus if we want to support a new Database for back-end that don't rely on
"default lower case" behavior.
