Reusing code is fine, in principle. The code you mention, however, will not help you much. It is non-distributed and has nothing to do with Hadoop. You might reuse a bit of code to parse the input files, that's about it.
Which data store are you referring to... if I understand right, you are implementing an algorithm on Hadoop. You would definitely not implement anything to load into memory, and I think you want to work with HDFS and Amazon S3, not Hbase.
