Hello, My name is Innocent. I am a new apache Polaris user who is strongly interested in contributing to the code base. I have been looking at #996 <https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/996> and given the back and forth on the issue as well as the guidance from Dmitry, I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread to align on what should be done.
As a quick refresher, the issue is that storage type is not case sensitive. Attempting to create catalogs with storage type different `file` instead of `FILE` or `s3` instead of `S3` will fail. Other operations requiring the storage type will also fail. On the user side, once the issue is detected it is generally quite easy to fix. However, user experience will be much improved if users don't have to worry about such details, so I think making storage type case insensitive would be an improvement. Before I get into how we would want to do it, I would like to gather opinions on the matter before I invest more time into looking at how the change would look like. Thank you for having me in the community!
