I would say as a BA you definitely don't have to bother with Java and the
goal of open source big data is not to have people work with Java. If you
get familiar with Hive and HQL it will help you a lot. A lot of
organizations are entering into this space from DW/BI background and none
have to do Java. Even if you do want do some low level data analysis,
Python would be better from your point of view (the language of a lot of
Data Science guys). Java is great if you want to start contributing to the
code base or writing the most optimized queries or understand the low level
implementations.
