I created a partitioned table:
create table t1 ( amount double) partitioned by ( events_partition_key string) stored as paquet;
some data was added in tmp_table, where the column "events_partition_key" contains a timestamp (row type) in the following format: "2018-02-25 00:00:00"
Then I insert some data into a partitioned table.
insert into table t1 partition (events_partition_key)
select amount, events_partition_key
from tmp_table
when you select t1 from a new partitioned table, in some cases the events_partition_key column is regularly displayed in the same way as in tmp_table, i.e. "2018-02-25 00:00:00", but in most cases it looks like a URL-encoded one, i.e. "2018-02-25 00% 3A00% 3A00"

In any case, the original partition_key column does not make any difference when it was encoded in the URL or not,
:
show partitions t1;
URL- (.. "2018-02-25 00% 253A00% 253A00" ), (.. "2018-02-25 00% 3A00% 3A00" )
