Not easily.

Unlike most components in the Hadoop ecosystem that are written in Java, Impala is written in C++ and has an extensive number of libraries and tools that would have to be ported in order to just satisfy the prerequisites for building Impala on Windows. Then there are the OS differences between Linux and Windows so you'd also have to change the build scripts to work with Windows-style paths and naming conventions plus you'd have to iron out any OS incompatibilities.

All of this, by the way, is to simply build Impala on Windows. Getting Impala to work on Windows might involve even more effort.
