Currently I am working in Ubuntu. Big Data. I do not have Windows OS in my system. i am going to install hadoop in Ubuntu. But I don't know whether windows is compulsory to have along with ubuntu. Can anyone tell me if I can proceed with hadoop without having Windows with me, thanks in advance.

No, Hadoop is supported on those platforms, but there is no inherent requirement to run both in order to support Hadoop.
The documentation Hadoop: Setting up a Single Node Cluster has the instructions for installing on Linux such as the requirements:
- java
- ssh
- rsync
Nowhere on the Linux instructions, does it list Windows as a must-have. Windows is only mentioned as a separate link for those who wish to use the Windows version of Hadoop.
