+1 pending on tests. BTW, is there a way to test this?

> It is because StatsUtils uses the String.startWith to compare VARCHAR/DECIMAL
> column type name with serdeConstants which are in lowercase. But these type
> names in stats might not be in lower case. We ran into a case where the type
> name from TAB_COL_STATS/PART_COL_STATS was actually in uppercase (e.g.
> VARCHAR, DECIMAL) because these column stats were populated from other HMS
> clients like Impala.
> We need changes these type name comparison to be case insensitive
