I have a question regarding the partition column types in a Hive table. We run hive 0.9.0 in a cloudera distribution and we're having issue trying to connect to hive using the Cloudera Tableau ODBC Connector. I'm unable to use a partition column of type int.
Trying to find a solution I chanced upon this link https://reviews.facebook.net/D6537 It looks like non-string partition column types. Is this still the case and if so why is that so? Thanks for your response. Kishore
