             Summary: Avro support requires all lowercase fields
                 Key: IMPALA-8335
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8335
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Catalog, Docs
            Reporter: Herman Chen


I am using external tables where the data resides in S3 in avro format. My avdl 
contains fields such as:
    string id;
    string sql;
    string templateId;
    union \{ null, string } pool;
    union \{ null, string } user;
    string startTime;
    string endTime;

However, Impala is able to read the all-lowerfields like "id" and "sql", but 
for any field containing uppercase like "templateId" or "startTime", Impala 
shows them all as NULL. I believe this is due to how Impala treats all 
identifier as lowercase, including column name. Is it so? Is there any way to 
work around it? If not it poses a major roadblock for working with pre-existing 
avro data.
