Thanks for the response John, This is exactly what I was looking for. I will pursue this direction and create a Java program to connect with Oracle DB, extract relevant data and push it into HDFS.
I am guessing the Hadoop/HDFS API's will contain all the relevant calls required to execute these tasks.
