I'll be chastised and have mean things said about me for this. Get some experience in IT before you start looking at Hadoop. My reasoning is this: If you don't know how to develop real applications in a Non-Hadoop world, you'll struggle a lot to develop with Hadoop.
Asking what "things you need to know in compulsory" is like saying you want to "learn computers" -- totally worthless! Find a problem to solve and seek to learn the tools you need to solve your problem. Otherwise, your learning is un-applied and somewhat useless. Picture a recent acting school graduate how to direct the next Star Wars movie. It's almost like that.
