Can Kibana connect with data sources other than elastic search and build visualizations on the data in other data sources ? More specifically I am looking to connect Kibana with Hive.

Kibana supports only Elasticsearch data and no other data source. But, it has a feature-rich and well-developed integration with Elasticsearch. It provides excellent data searching and exploration functionalities for Elasticsearch sources.
Kibana on the other hand, is designed to work only with Elasticsearch and thus does not support any other type of data source. In order to extrapolate data from other sources, it needs to be shipped into the ELK Stack (via Filebeat or Metricbeat, then Logstash, then Elasticsearch) in order to apply Kibana to it.
To build a dashboard in Kibana, users must have data indexed in Elasticsearch and have already built a search, visualization, or map.
Kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch. Kibana is a snap to setup and start using. Kibana strives to be easy to get started with, while also being flexible and powerful, just like Elasticsearch.
No you cannot connect Kibana directly but you can connect Elasticsearch to hadoop. using es-hadoop see https://www.elastic.co/products/hadoop
Similarly you can connect other datasources to elasticsearch like Logstash, es-hadoop or 3rd party technologies like Apache Flume, Fluentd, and many others. see - https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana
