Install Hive on windows: 'hive' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file - hadoop

Question

I have installed Hadoop 2.7.3 on Windows and I am able to start the cluster. Now I would like to have hive and went through the steps below:
1. Downloaded db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.zip, unpacked it and started the startNetworkServer -h 0.0.0.0.
2. Downloaded apache-hive-1.1.1-bin.tar.gz from mirror site and unpacked it. Created hive-site.xml to have below properties:
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName
hive.server2.enable.impersonation
hive.server2.authentication
datanucleus.autoCreateTables
hive.metastore.schema.verification
I have also setup HIVE_HOME and updated path. Also set HIVE_LIB and HIVE_BIN_PATH.
When I run hive from bin I get
'hive' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The bin/hive appears as filetype File.
Please suggest. Not sure if the hive version is correct one.
Thank you.

If someone is still going through this problem; here's what i did to solve hive installation on windows.
My configurations are as below (latest as of date):
I am using Windows 10
Hadoop 2.9.1
derby 10.14
hive 2.3.4 (my hive version does not contain bin/hive.cmd; the necessary file to run hive on windows)
#wheeler above mentioned that Hive is for Linux. Here's the hack to make it work for windows.
My Hive installation version did not come with windows executable files. Hence the hack!
STEP 1
There are 3 files which you need to specifically download from *https://svn.apache.org/repos/
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/trunk/bin/hive.cmd
save it in your %HIVE_HOME%/bin/ as hive.cmd
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/trunk/bin/ext/cli.cmd
save it in your %HIVE_HOME%/bin/ext/ as cli.cmd
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/trunk/bin/ext/util/execHiveCmd.cmd
save it in your %HIVE_HOME%/bin/ext/util/ as execHiveCmd.cmd*
where %HIVE_HOME% is where Hive is installed.
STEP 2
Create tmp dir under your HIVE_HOME (on local machine and not on HDFS)
give 777 permissions to this tmp dir
STEP 3
Open your conf/hive-default.xml.template save it as conf/hive-site.xml
Then in this hive-site.xml, paste below properties at the top under
<property>
<name>system:java.io.tmpdir</name>
<value>{PUT YOUR HIVE HOME DIR PATH HERE}/tmp</value>
<!-- MY PATH WAS C:/BigData/hive/tmp -->
</property>
<property>
<name>system:user.name</name>
<value>${user.name}</value>
</property>
(check the indents)
STEP 4
- Run Hadoop services
start-dfs
start-yarn
Run derby
StartNetworkServer -h 0.0.0.0
Make sure you have all above services running
- go to cmd for HIVE_HOME/bin and run hive command
hive

Answer 2

Version 1.1.1 of Apache Hive does not contain a version that can be executed on Windows (only Linux binaries):
However, version 2.1.1 does have Windows capabilities:
So even if you had your path correctly set, cmd wouldn't be able to find an executable it could run, since one doesn't exist in 1.1.1.

i also run into this problem. to get necessary file to run hive on windows i have downloaded hive-2.3.9 and hive-3.1.2 but none of them have this files.so, we have two option:
Option 1: install hive-2.1.0 and set it up as i have tried,
Hadoop 2.8.0
derby 10.12.1.1
hive 2.1.0
Option 2: download whole bin directory and replace with yours hive bin directory. for downloading bin we need wget utility for windows.
after that run this command(to understand how it works):
wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=3 -R index.html
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/trunk/bin/
your downloaded bin looks like:
after replacing it you are ready to go. so now my configurations are as below:
Hadoop 3.3.1
derby 10.13.1.1
hive 2.3.9
