Hello Harun,
Your question is very interesting and will be useful for future Hadoop setups for startup/individuals too. Normally for testing purposes, we prefer you to use pseudo-distributed environments (i.e. installation of all cluster files in single node). You can refer few links which will guide you through the whole process below for reference: https://districtdatalabs.silvrback.com/creating-a-hadoop-pseudo-distributed-environment Individual Pseudo Distributed Cluster Implementation: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/02/hadoop-pseudo-distributed-installation/ http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#quickstart_pseudo and please check for others. >From our 20 years of Server & its related Industrial experience, we recommend >you to use VM/Instances for production & Business Critical environment.

We want to test Hadoop (maybe different versions) and ecosystem on physical machines (virtualization is not an option) from different perspectives. As a bunch of developer we would like to work in parallel. We want every team member play with his/her own cluster. However we have limited amount of servers (strong machines though). So the question is, by changing port numbers, environment variables and other configuration parameters, is it possible to setup several independent clusters on same physical machines. Is there any constraints? What are the possible difficulties we are to face?
