Hadoop will use Infinispan (integration achieved through InputFormat and OutputFormat ) in order to get the data to be processed.

No of course not, we discussed that. I just mean I think that needs to
be clarified on the list that the Hadoop engine will always run in the
same JVM. Clients (be it Hot Rod via new custom commands or Hadoop
native clients, or Hadoop clients over Hot Rod) can indeed connect
remotely, but it's important to clarify that the processing itself
will take advantage of locality in all configurations. In other words,
to clarify that the serialization cost you mention for clients is just
to transfer the job definition and optionally the final processing
result.
