IBM ODA virutal table columns gets converted to upper case

trying to write the data to cassandra DB from izoda. Every thing look good except that columns names defined in virtual table in ODA coming as upper case. However cassandra DB column names are defined as lower case.. This is causing cassandra unable to find a column name with upper case letters. I used alias names while selecting each column name for now to make it work.. But i would like to see if we have option to make it lower case column names.
