Description

Correct conversion of a string to upper or lower case depends on Locale.

Java's upper case and lower case conversion routines allow passing in a locale.

It should be possible to pass in a locale to UPPER() and LOWER() in Phoenix so that locale-specific case conversion can be supported in Phoenix.

See java.lang.String#toUpperCase()
