Is it possible to run hadoop on multi-node and these nodes install hadoop on different paths?

I noticed the tutorial, such as Michael Noll's, http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-multi-node-cluster/, asks hadoop to be installed on different nodes with the same installation path.

I tried to run hadoop on multi-node. Each node installed hadoop on different path. But not success. I noticed that the hadoop assume installation paths are the same in default.

Were the relevant files modified to reflect the installed locations on each node? I haven't tried to run them on different paths, but I think it should work if the appropriate paths are specified. – Nija Mar 3 '11 at 16:07

The problem is when I execute start-dfs.sh it tries to start hadoop deamons on the salve nodes from the same path as on master. "Whereas the installation path is different. Were the relevant files modified to reflect the installed locations on each node"? Which file I should modify to reflect the installed locations on each node?
