Hi Devon,
I'm writing about your commit https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/commit/02524bf2f5485cfd4cddb66bd3280e5a08a2232c in Ganglia. The comment mentions: 1) Get rid of "case-insensitive" metrics. I don't think these ever actually hit, but the code is silly. If we need it, we can normalize the data going into the table. The main reason for this is that some environments have inconsistent hostname practices. RFC 952 says there should be no distinction between upper case and lower case. In practice, in large heterogeneous environments, uppercase or mixed-case hostname strings appear. Ganglia needs to handle these intelligently. Metric names are Ganglia-specific though and it is quite OK for them to be case sensitive - as far as I know, the case-insensitive code was only added to support hostnames.
