Unfortunately, hive partitioning in Pipeline Builder outputs is not currently supported. You can make a Projection on the outputs, however, which may be sufficient for your use-case. See [my earlier answer](https://community.palantir.com/t/pipeline-optimization-dataset-projection-how-do-they-work-and-how-they-relate-to-hive-partitioning-bucketing/375/2) for a discussion of Projections vs hive partitioning.
