Description

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...
