Hi, I am just trying to get myself acquainted with Hadoop and other related technologies. I am very much fascinated with the potential of the Big Data world and hence would like to be part of it!! However, it has been a while I have done any coding. Earlier for a brief period of time during early days of my career, I have done some work in Java. All these days, I am working as a Business Analyst in the CRM space.
* Before I start exploring Hadoop world, I would like to hear your thoughts on the following queries: * Being a business analyst, what would be the possible career opportunities in the Hadoop space? * Is it necessary to have a strong technical background before jumping into Hadoop? If so, which technologies need to be learnt primarily? Java, SQL etc? * What are the various certifications available in the Hadoop world? Are there any certifications for Business Analysts? Please let me know your valuable thoughts. Thanks Vijay
