Given Hadoop itself is written in Java it helps to know Java but if you are simply setting it up and you can get by by using HIVE or PIG, you don’t really need to know Java programming.
If this is only to get familiar with Hadoop that strategy may work but if you want to run into production then you will need some amount of familiarity with how JVM works and such. You may not need to code in Java though.
