If you have hive-server running somewhere you can do following-
HiveConf hiveConf = new HiveConf(MyClass.class);
hiveConf.set("hive.metastore.local", "false");
hiveConf.set(ConfVars.METASTOREURIS.varname, url);
HiveMetaStoreClient client = new HiveMetaStoreClient(hiveConf);
and then do-
client.add_partition(part);
