What I mean to say is, Does hadoop internally assumes that all installations on each nodes need to be in same location. I was having hadoop installed on different location on 2 different nodes. I configured hadoop config files to be a part of same cluster. But when I started hadoop on master, I saw it was also searching for hadoop starting scripts in the same location as of master. Do we have any workaround in these kind of situation or do I have to reinstall hadoop again on same location as master.
