Hi, please try this for general Hadoop installation steps.

thanks.

Hi,

you need to create an image, populate your image with whatever software you need, then you can deploy it in Eucalyptus. Here is the documentation for that

http//eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/wiki/EucalyptusImageManagement_v1.4

As far as Hadoop specifically, please refer to the Hadoop docs.

Help with installing a specific software stack (like Hadoop) in an image is outside the scope of Eucalyptus, however, the community can attempt to help you with any specific questions you might have.

thanks.

Hello,

if you want to take advantage of Eucalyptus, and the private cloud, you should install hadoop in an image, not on the machine hosting eucalyptus components. Please refer to our user's guide for instructions on how to upload instances and start instances. Our wiki also have instructions on how to manipulate images.

Sure you can create an image, bundle, upload and register it with Eucalyptus. You do not need to make any node level changes.
