I want to check the status of last command and based on the exit code, the commands will be executed further.

Answer 1

From Get-Help about_If:

Syntax The following example shows the If statement syntax:

   if ()
       {}
   [elseif ()
       {}]
   [else
       {}]

Note: the square brackets around the elseif and else indicate they are optional.

Assign your returned object to a variable:

$hiveJob = Start-AzureHDInsightJob -Cluster $clusterName -JobDefinition  $hiveJobDefinition
Wait-AzureHDInsightJob -Job $hiveJob -WaitTimeoutInSeconds 5400
$Result = Get-AzureHDInsightJobOutput -Cluster $clusterName -JobId $hiveJob.JobId -StandardOutput

Then

if ($Result.ExitCode -eq 0)
  {
    #More commands
  }
