The subject line and the first point on your list indicates that you want to connect to a Hive data source using ODBC. But the error message tells us that you have set up a linked server with SQL Server Native Client, which is the OLE DB provider you would
use if you want to connect to another SQL Server instance.
For using an ODBC driver, you need to use the MSDASQL provider, and in the @provstr argument you specify which ODBC driver you want to use. That is, something like:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'SQLHive', '', 'MSDASQL',
     @provstr = 'Driver={Hive ODBC Driver}....'
As I have not worked with the Hive ODBC Driver, I don't know exactly what goes into the @provstr parameter, but it would be the same as if you connected to Hive from an application.
