The 'hadoop' package just delivers the hadoop common bits but no init
scripts to start the service, no convenience artifacts that deploy
configuration for say, starting hadoop pseudo distributed cluster. For all
practical purposes, you are going to need hadoop-hdfs and hadoop-mapreduce
packages which deliver bits for HDFS and MR. However, even that may not be
enough, you likely need init scripts to be installed for starting and
stopping services related to HDFS and MR. So, depending on if you are
installing Hadoop on a fully-distributed cluster or a pseudo-distributed
cluster, you may need to install one or more services (and hence packages)
like resource manager, node manager, namenode and datanode on the node(s).
Then, you will have to deploy the configuration yourself. We have default
configuration installed by packages but you definitely need to add some
entries to make it work for a fully-distributed cluster e.g. adding the
name of the namenode host to configuration of datanodes. If you are using
just a pseudo-distributed, you can installed the pseudo distributed
configuration package (which has all the necessary dependencies so
installing that nothing else should be good) and you will get an
out-of-the-box experience.

FYI, if you do
yum list 'hadoop*'
You would find a list of all hadoop related packages that are available to
be installed.
