One thing to consider is that if you are never searching on the
integers themselves, then keeping them out of indexed properties
should reduce some overhead in creating/updating indexes (which
automatically exist for all Integer and List fields!).  So if you went
with your hourly entity approach, you could keep the data itself in a
Blob of Text property (neither of which is automatically indexed).
