Neat. I've used Hadoop and Hive on Xen before. At that time I was
testing on CentOS 5.5 that comes with Xen. It worked quite well.

If you want a good test you should at least run something that is
supported. If you really care about performance, running the latest
versions is probably better than a old version on a unsupported
version of Linux.

If it is just map-reduce stuff you want to do and you can dedicate a
64bit box for it. I would recommend to use the Xen Cloud Platform
(XCP) as it is a easy to install version of Xen. See:
