If I understand your setup correctly, you have a Hadoop Cluster running MapReduce and HDFS. You have permissions to read and write to HDFS however you cannot add any new software to the machine running Hadoop. You also have some other machines where you can manage the software and they have write/read access to HDFS. So if I'm understanding your question and setup correctly then yes you can install Blur on machines that do not run Hadoop (HDFS) locally. Blur only needs access to HDS the service, however I believe that you will get better performance by running a separate HDFS instance just for Blur, but it is not required.
Please let us know if you have any issues or questions. Thanks!
