Orc file format allows metadata field names with ignoring casing. For example, we have manual tests when query based compaction creates Orc files with lowercase fields (the root cause for this is under unvestigation).
As OrcInputFormat.isOriginal currently checks the field names with strict casing, FixAcidKeyIndex can fail if the Orc file footer contains its metadata fields (like currentTransaction) lowercasing.
What changes were proposed in this pull request?
OrcInputFormat.isOriginal now does its checking with ignoring casing.
Why are the changes needed?
To be able to fix wrong Orc ACID files even with lower cased metadata.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No
How was this patch tested?
Added new test case:
