FWIW.. HCatalog only allows partition columns of type string precisely
because in backend datastore type information is not recorded. In my
opinion, partition type should be restricted to type string until we fix
this problem, otherwise it gives unexpected behavior to endusers and/or
bug-reps. One
OK, I will keep the support.
Add special casing for string columns in DDLTask

We use them to we store our dates as integers like 20120130. This
allows us to do partition pruning with ranges.

We're using non-string partition columns in production. I think non string
partition columns are a good thing to have - it allows you to do all sorts
of date range calculations etc. AFAIK, MySQL's partition columns can be of
any type.

Should I go ahead and file a jira to disallow non-string partition columns
?
Or, someone depends on that functionality.

Yes, but the meta-question is:
Is anyone dependent on non-string partition columns ? Should we drop the
support for non-string
partition columns ?

Some discussion for this has happened on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2702 Is the underlying problem
same as the one which I described on that jira ?

Should we disallow non-string partition columns completely ?
Does anyone depend on that ?
