Hi Sharu, I think you can install CDH 5.3 on a supported Linux version (RHEL or CentOS 6.x) directly, rather than a VM. Trafodion doesn' run on Windows. The VM and the asssocated helpers in the instructions are there to make it easier.
Once you've got Trafodion installed, there are various things you can do with it - see the quickstart page at http://trafodion.apache.org/quickstart.html and feel free to make suggestions or contributions as you discover things that could be done differently to make it easier!
