You can either do partitioning by KEY, which works with all column types and is similar to HASH partitioning (partitioning pruning requires equal comparison to work with both KEY and HASH). Or try the new partitioning type 'column_list' at

So if your queries looks like "SELECT x FROM t WHERE varchar_col = 'string'", then KEY PARTITIONING would be the type to use.
