You would need to have a field with the hour for this, otherwise it's not possible to do this in Timelion.

Thank you, Marius.  
A second question, can Hour be parsed out from timefield, as a separate, Scripted Field, in the root index? Could then Filter on Hour.

You can use Java functions in a scripted field. I think you have a getHourOfDay function in Java so you can use that to get the hour out of a timestamp.
