The patch above broke drop partitions if the partition happens to be non-string. This is due to a JDO issue with non-string columns. Is anyone using non-string partition columns ? Should be force the partition columns to be only of type string ? The documentation probably does not specify anything clearly. If someone is dependent on non-string partition column, we need to revert this patch, or make a special case for string partition columns. Thanks, -namit
