hashpartitions). When run the sql from Postgresql JDBC driver, it soon increased to 150MB memory (RES filed from top
command),      but when run the same SQL from psql , it only consumes about 10MB memory.  UPDATE statements is similar

It sounds like JDBC is using prepared statements, and partitions maybe
weren't pruned by the server.  What is the query plan from psql vs from
jdbc ?

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Slow_Query_Questions

What version is the postgres server ?
That affects pruning as well as memory use.

Improve the performance of updates and deletes on partitioned tables
with many partitions (Amit Langote, Tom Lane)

This change greatly reduces the planner's overhead for such cases, and
also allows updates/deletes on partitioned tables to use execution-time
partition pruning.

Actually, this is about the same response as when you asked in June,
except that was about UPDATE.
