Hi Ravi,
Another way of doing apart from dynamic partition is if you can create your
directories like below either manually or the ETL process you might be doing to
get the table data it is pretty easy.
s3://<s3://logs/joined_analyze_files_hive/%27>ravi/logs/adv_id=123/date=2012-01-01/log.gz
s3://<s3://logs/joined_analyze_files_hive/%27>ravi/logs/adv_id=456/date=2012-01-02/log.gz
s3://<s3://logs/joined_analyze_files_hive/%27>ravi/logs/adv_id=123/date=2012-01-03/log.gz
and so on..
and then when you define your table
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE results
(field1 STRING,
field2 STRING)
PARTITIONED BY (adv_id STRING,date STRING)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LOCATION 's3://ravi/logs/';<s3://logs/joined_analyze_files_hive/%27>
Once the table is created do a
ALTER TABLE results RECOVER PARTITIONS; -- This will load all the data from the
partitions in the results table
SELECT * FROM results; - should return you all the rows.
For queries by partition you could do something like
SELECT * from results where adv-id=123 and date='2012-01-01'; -- this query
will just read that specific directory/partition
Here is an link to AWS forum, describing this in more detail -

thanks for the reply
Let concentrate on the second case
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE results (cookie STRING,
d2 STRING,
url STRING,
d4 STRING,
d5 STRING,
d6 STRING,
adv_id_dummy STRING,
timestp STRING,
ip STRING,
userAgent STRING,
stage STRING,
d12 STRING,
d13 STRING)
PARTITION BY (adv_id,date) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LOCATION
's3://somewhere-outside-the-logs-tree';<s3://logs/joined_analyze_files_hive/%27>
You can then
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE results PARTITION (adv_id, date)
Is this all I need to do to load the data?
how will the system know what data will go into what partition?
As I understand the partition columns should be psedo columns and not part of
the actual data.
Also if I have to load just 2 of the files say
s3://logs/ad1date1.log.gz and
s3://logs/ad2date4.log.gz how do I specify it.

If you do
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE analyze_files_tab (cookie STRING,
d2 STRING,
url STRING,
d4 STRING,
d5 STRING,
d6 STRING,
adv_id_dummy STRING,
timestp STRING,
ip STRING,
userAgent STRING,
stage STRING,
d12 STRING,
d13 STRING)
LOCATION 's3n://logs/'<s3n://logs/%27>;
you'll have all of it in a table. If you then want the results partitioned, you
can do
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE results (cookie STRING,
d2 STRING,
url STRING,
d4 STRING,
d5 STRING,
d6 STRING,
adv_id_dummy STRING,
timestp STRING,
ip STRING,
userAgent STRING,
stage STRING,
d12 STRING,
d13 STRING)
PARTITION BY (adv_id,date) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LOCATION
's3://somewhere-outside-the-logs-tree';<s3://logs/joined_analyze_files_hive/%27>
You can then
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE results PARTITION (adv_id, date)
<your query>
Note that to use dynamic partitions you have to first run
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
