You can't delete individual rows from Hive over HDFS. You can delete full partitions.

If you want to delete individual rows then a work around would be to create a new table with the rows deleted, swap table names, then delete old table.

Or, use Hive over HBase, which allows for deleting rows (also updates/inserts), see:
