I think Hadoop is pronounced as h a:  - d u: p  with the emphasis on  
the second syllable.

I believe the first vowel there is properly ae (as in "cat"), but in 
rapid speech this unstressed vowel turns to a schwa, so it doesn't 
really matter.

There are regional variations.  In particular, in some areas (the kids 
playroom in my house, for example) the stress is placed on the first 
syllable.  But by the time you make it down the hall to my office the 
stress generally shifts back to the second syllable.

I always assumed the stress was on the first syllable.  Maybe we really
do need to clarify this. :)
