Issue
The column type is inferred in grafana plugin, by looking at the row values. So If a string type column which have all the column values as number digits, is treated as number in the plugin. This effects the alerting and overall experience for user.
"id"
is of type string but have number valuesGrafana druid treating the column as number
Fix
This can be fixed as from druid client, strings come in "" (double quotes)
