--------------------------------------

I encountered this issue as well and it would require me some efforts to work around this, so I'd be really happy if this will be fixed!

> ResultSetMetaData.getColumnType() always returns VARCHAR(string) as column type, no matter what the column type is for the partition column.
> However DatabaseMetadata.getColumnType() returns correct type. 
> Create a table with a partition column having a type other than string, you will see that ResultSet.getColumnType() always returns string as the type for int or boolean or float columns...
