partitioning of data in hive is more for the reasons on how you layout data in a well defined manner so that when you access your data , you request only for specific data by specifying the partition columns in where clause.
to answer your question, do you have to change your queries? out of the box the queries should work as it is unless and until you are changing the table schema by removing/adding new columns. does the format change when you export data? if your select statement is not changing it will not change will table schema change? do you mean schema on hive or mysql ?
