No HDInsight, tentei a colmeia --version, mas ela não reconheceu a opção ou a mencionou na ajuda.
D:\Users\admin1>%hive_home%/bin/hive --version
Unrecognized option: --version
usage: hive
-d,--define <key=value> Variable subsitution to apply to hive

No entanto, quando você faz o login no nó principal e inicia o console do hive, ele imprime algumas informações de configuração úteis a partir das quais a versão pode ser lida:
D:\Users\admin1>%hive_home%/bin/hive

A partir disso, eu diria que tenho o Hive versão 0.13 implantado, o que é consistente com esta lista de versões https://hive.apache.org/downloads.html
