    I'd also vote for the 2nd approach. PR #9251 doesn't exactly fix "mix case" 
`partitionBy`, but simply lowercases all partition columns. Two drawbacks of 
this approaches are:
    
    1. Usually Spark SQL always tries to be case preserving, so that we can 
adapt to either case sensitive or case insensitive environments. But PR #9251 
erases case information
    2. This can be confusing, because even when users are working under case 
sensitive configuration, partition column names are still erased.
