You cannot run Hadoop on Appengine (No filesystem access as well).

You may want to check AWS ElasticMapreduce. Its a cloud based platform for running Mapreduce jobs.

Sort of.

You can't use the actual MapReduce framework - the architecture is too incompatible with AppEngine.

However, there is an equivalent system built specficially for GAE - appengine-mapreduce. That site is a bit confusing, as the first version of the code only supported mappers, without the subsequent reduce step - recently they released a version with full mapreduce support, but some of the documentation still referes to the earlier mapper-only one.

The best introduction is the GoogleIO talk from Mike Aizatskyi.
