A couple of days back, Erik Sammer at the Hadoop Hands On Lab at the Cloudera Sessions demonstrated how to achieve dynamic partitioning using Flume and created those partitioned directories on HDFS which are then readily usable by Hive
Understanding what I can from the two lines of your mail below, I would configure Flume to do dynamic partitioning (YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR) and create those directories in HDFS and then create Hive tables with those partitions and run the queries As Stephen said earlier , experiment like crazy - and share please - it will make all of us better as well !
