You can run any of the daemons on any machine you want, you just have to be aware of the trade offs you are making with RAM allocation.
I am hoping this is a DEV cluster. This is definitely not a configuration you would want to use in production. If you are asking in regards to a production cluster, the NNs should live apart from the datanodes though it is perfectly fine to run the journal node and zookeeper instances on the NNs. But again, you should NEVER have the NN and DN on the same machine (unless you are in a DEV cluster and experimenting).
