 - Fixed `PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR` for column names containing special characters (e.g., dots) when `EnableBatchedInserts` is enabled, by re-quoting column names with backticks in reconstructed multi-row INSERT statements.
 - Fixed Volume ingestion for SEA mode, which was broken due to statement being closed prematurely.
 - Fixed escaped pattern characters in catalogName for `getSchemas`, as returned catalogName should be unescaped.
+- Fixed `getColumns()` returning `DATA_TYPE=0` (NULL) for GEOMETRY/GEOGRAPHY columns in Thrift mode. Now returns `Types.VARCHAR` (12) when geospatial is disabled and `Types.OTHER` (1111) when enabled, consistent with SEA mode.
