Hadoop runs Java code, so you can do anything that Java could do. This means that you can create and/or analyze images. However, as Lukas has said, Hadoop runs on a cluster of computers and is used for data storage and processing.
-If you are trying to do 2D graphics (AWT operations included) on unix servers, you often need to have X11 up and running before the rendering works - You need to start whichever JVM runs your rendering code with the property java.awt.headless=true; you can actually set this in your code. -if the rendering code uses the OS/hardware, then different hardware can render differently. This may not be visible to the eye, but it makes testing more complex as the generated bitmaps can be slightly different from machine to machine
