---------------------------------
Summary: Provide flag to disable uppercase characters in
column/table names
Key: KUDU-1996
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1996
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: master
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Dan Burkert
The rest of the Hadoop ecosystem (Hive, SparkSQL, Impala) can't handle
uppercase or non-ascii characters in table and column names. Users who create
these tables through the Kudu client may not recognize that the table won't be
addressable by SparkSQL and Impala. Removing support would be a breaking
change, but we can provide a flag on the master that will reject any
CREATE/ALTER statements which introduce non-conforming names.
Additionally, we should fix the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE Impala logic to display
an error when the column/table name doesn't conform.
