Hi Dean, HDInsight enables the developers to deploy and run Hadoop on Windows based personal computers. You can download and install it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35397
For more info - Please check this YouTube video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_ZfF_09dE0> on HDInsight.

Cloudera has a CentOS VM with CDH4.1 pre-installed and configured that can be downloaded for free from here: https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/SUPPORT/Cloudera%27s+Hadoop+Demo+VM+for+CDH4 More info here: http://www.zdnet.com/hadoop-on-your-pc-clouderas-cdh4-virtual-machine-7000003096/ Thanks.

While that's what you want for production deployments, of course, I have many, many clients would like like to run Hadoop and Hive on personal computers for development and testing, like you can do on Mac and Linux personal machines with the Apache distro. I hope Hortonworks and Microsoft will address this need. Also, I laughed out loud when I read this: "Microsoft is notorious for making things easy and simple ..." dean On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 2:01 AM, imen Megdiche <imen.megdi...@gmail.com<mailto:imen.megdi...@gmail.com>> wrote: i find that there is WSO2 which works fine under windows, but i still want to run hive under cygwin. at the moment i can create tables with the commande "hive - e 'sql query '".

You can download this from Microsoft: http://hortonworks.com/partners/microsoft/ We're working to get this open source code back into mainline Apache now.
