Hi! One way to deploy Hadoop in a more formal environment is to do it via the Bigtop distribution. Bigtop provides packages and puppet deployment code for most Linux distributions. We try to make the experience of deploying Hadoop as seamless as possible, since our goal can be summarized as "trying to be Ubuntu of Hadoop-based bigdata management platforms". More info is available over here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/How+to+install+Hadoop+distribution+from+Bigtop
We're also an Apache incubating project. That means -- if we don't quite scratch your itch yet -- join the fun and help us make a 100% Apache Hadoop-based bigdata management platform a reality. Thanks, Roman.
