>                 Key: IMPALA-8335
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8335
>             Project: IMPALA
>          Issue Type: Question
>          Components: Catalog, Docs
>            Reporter: Herman Chen
>            Priority: Major
>
> I am using external tables where the data resides in S3 in avro format. My 
> avdl contains fields such as:
>     string id;
>     string sql;
>     string templateId;
>     union \{ null, string } pool;
>     union \{ null, string } user;
>     string startTime;
>     string endTime;
> However, Impala is able to read the all-lowerfields like "id" and "sql", but 
> for any field containing uppercase like "templateId" or "startTime", Impala 
> shows them all as NULL. I believe this is due to how Impala treats all 
> identifier as lowercase, including column name. Is it so? Is there any way to 
> work around it? If not it poses a major roadblock for working with 
> pre-existing avro data.
