> Hive stores all name related value as lower case, such as db_name, tbl_name,
> col_name etc. But the compare of {{FieldSchema}} does not ignore the case of
> name, which may cause incorrect result of compare.
> *Bug Description:*
> Some computing engines are case sensitive for column name. For example, Spark
> will add a table property to save the column fields when creating a table,
> and will replace column fields with this property when fetching table fields.
> When calling {{*ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMNS*}}, the compare of fields between
> old table and new table will be not expected, and the ADD COLUMNS operation
> will be cascaded to PARTITIONS, which is unnecessary and time consuming if
> the table has many partitions.
