Well, you might want to use the user type:
user { "hadoop":
home => "/home/hadoop",
}
Though more generally it would be interesting to know why that test is
failing even if the user's homedir is set correctly. Which version of
puppet are you using? I assume you've run that command on the command
line and gotten the correct exit value?
