Again, please take CDH questions to Cloudera lists.

Hi Steven,
It is entirely possible to configure Hadoop to run in the user space
(with
the exception of the security-enabled CDH3b3, but any prior to this
should
work). You will not be able to install it from RPMs since it
requires root
access, but it should work from a tarball distribution. You should
even be
able to start/stop the whole cluster with a single {start,stop}-all.sh
command from $HADOOP_HOME/bin directory if you distribute ssh keys and
enable passwordless ssh (I don't know if your admins will frown on
this as
well). The service scripts in /etc/init.d obviously will be off
limits.
Let us know if you have any specific questions.

We are trying set up a cluster using the latest Cloudera
distribution. The
issue is that IT will not give us root
access to the systems in the cluster. The people trying to set up the
cluster report that it is not possible
to configure a cloudera distribution without root access - also
as of their 0.20 release, the information in /etc/default/
hadoop-0.20 will
overwrite any environment variables you specify.)
Has anyone done this??
