This same question comes up about once per week on this list. Anyone who knows how to type "hive cygwin" into a search bar will pretty quickly find that Hadoop is made for native Linux.

Is it possible to make Hadoop (and Hive) run under Cygwin? Apparently so, with lots of kludges and jumping through hoops, but not worth the trouble.

Hive does not work under cygwin. We have many issues open to have hive work natively in windows.

Chuck,
In the past it was a bit of a "kludge"
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6226.how-to-connect-excel-to-hadoop-on-azure-via-hiveodbc-en-us.aspx

But there are several parties very motivated to make this happen. I
can say their are easily 10 patches post hive 0.9.0X that are for
making things that only worked on linux work natively on windows.

Baby steps.

OK, I stand corrected. Still seems easier to me to just create a Linux virtual machine, but it is nice to have the Windows option.
