Sending data to HDFS file system depending on the group

appName Data

a2 my

a2 data

a2 bnm

a3 ewr

dynamic partitions: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Tutorial#Tutorial-DynamicpartitionInsert might suit you.
you wont be able to choose the path in HDFS but different apps will go to different folders.
