Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-1054:
----------------------------------------

One problem there could be that all partition values are stored as string, so 
type info is completely lost in mysql. As a result partition filters cannot be 
pushed in mysql for any types other then string. This is also documented in 
listPartitionsByFilter() api of metastoreclient. Though, I don't find that this 
is enforced anywhere (that might itself be a bug). As a result, changing a type 
of partition column from string to int or vice-versa might result in change in 
behavior.
                
> "CHANGE COLUMN" does not support changing partition column types.
