Description

in case of orc data reader schema passed by hive are all small cases and if the column name stored in the file has any uppercase, it will return null values for those columns even if the data is present in the file.
Column name matching while schema evolution should be case unaware.
we need to pass config for same from hive. the config(orc.schema.evolution.case.sensitive) in orc will be exposed by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-264
