Description

RawLocalFileSystem is not case sensitive but I am not sure if it should be.
This class relays on the underlying OS filesystem so if it runs on a non case sensitive OS the class will be insensitive as well.
On Mac follow the following commands:

1. echo asdf > lower.txt
2. cat loWer.txt

Do we need to make RawLocalFileSystem class case sensitive? Please help.
