Description

"Insert into table <table-name> ~~" is expected to append query result into the table. But when the table name contains uppercase character, it overwrite existing table.

Issue Links

• is duplicated by: HIVE-3939 INSERT INTO behaves like INSERT OVERWRITE if the table name referred is not all lowercase
• is duplicated by: HIVE-3064 in "insert into tablename" statement,if the "tablename" contains uppercase characters this statement will overwrite the table
• relates to: HIVE-3465 insert into statement overwrites if target table is prefixed with database name
