* This patch doesn't claim performance improvement. I know that
`OrcStructInspector` actually do very similar thing as `StructObjectInspector`.
This patch is proposed to only deal with the lowercase problem.
* Although Hive is a case-insensitive system and we just use lowercases in
the querying, I just wonder if we need to normalise the column names to
lowercases in persistence (such as ORC). Because according to
`OrcStructInspector`, I don't see it automatically perform the normalisation.
And you can find that we still keep the case-insensitive behavior when doing
query (I will add it in the unit test). In other words, this patch only
prevents automatically modifying the schema when serialising to ORC files.
