Hive is considered as the "Hadoop Data Warehouse", so indeed you can create fact and dimensional tables.

Here is a doc giving an introduction on that: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/bd-hivewarehouse/

If you are new to Hive, I recommend you also to start your journey by downloading the Hortonworks Sandbox and looking at the tutorials we have:
