How-To :Become a Hadoop Certified Developer ?

Hadoop

 Apache Hadoop is an open source framework for distributed storing and processing of large sets of data on commodity hardware. Hadoop enables businesses to gain insight from massive amounts of structured and unstructured data quickly.

Hadoop and Big Data are the hot trends of the Industry these days. Most of the companies are already implementing these or they have at least started to show interest to remain competitive in the market. Big Data and Analytic are certainly one of the great concepts for current and forthcoming IT generation as most of the innovation is driven by vast amount of data that is being generated exponentially.

There are many vendors for Enterprise Hadoop in the Industry – Cloudera, HortonWorks (forked out of Yahoo), MapR, IBM are some of the few front runners among them. They all have their own Hadoop Distributions which differs in one way or other in terms of features keeping Hadoop to its core. They provide training on various Hadoop and Big Data technologies and as an Industry trend are coming out to provide certifications around these technologies too.

In this article I am going to list down all the latest available certifications for Hadoop by different vendors in the industry. Certifications are helpful to your career or not , that’s altogether a different debate and out of scope of this article. It may be useful for some of the folks out there who thinks they have done enough reading about it and now they want to judge themselves or those who are looking to add values to their  portfolios.
