If you want to learn modern functional programming, then looking at a reference on Haskell or ML is probably more useful than SICP (as good as the red book was in its day).
For Hadoop, you really don't need full-on functional programming. You just need the simple concept of side-effect free computation. Most of the "interesting" stuff is unnecessary in the context of map-reduce.
