I always use the Cloudera packages, CDH3 I think it's called...but it isn't the latest by any shot. It's still .20. I think Hadoop is nearly to .23 although I'm not proficient on those kinds of details. I mentioned Cloudera's distribution because it falls into place pretty smoothly. For example, a few weeks ago and downloaded and installed it on a Mac in a few hours (and ran an example) and then installed it on a Tier 3 Linux VM and had it running examples there too.
