There is no requirement that your hdfs and mapred clusters share an
installation directory, it is just done that way because it is simple and
most people have a datanode and tasktracker on each slave node.
Simply have 2 configuration directories on your cluster machines, and us the
bin/start-dfs.sh script in one, and the bin/start-mapred.sh script in the
other, and maintain different slaves files in the two directories.
You will loose the benefit of data locality for your tasktrackers which do
not reside on the datanode machines.
