Hello. Realize that Hadoop is a new technology. It is a moving target.
Documentation is scrambling to keep up with the latest movements and trends in
Hadoop.
It is not easy getting ones foot into the Hadoop industry. If you are US
citizen & are are willing to move to Baltimore seek a position as Hadoop
admin/developer with Northrop or Lockheed. They have contracts with SSA to
incoporate Hadoop into their system. I hear, but I'm not sure, but if make have
some inclination towards Hadoop familiarity they will bring you in cold.

The problem here is that I don't think you're going to get a good quick hit
with anything that you can add to a CV.
You likely need to think about a 6-9 month project that actually has some kind
of measurable impact to impress anyone.
My opinion...

One thing you might have to realize is that you will likely need to get some
kind of programming knowledge. You don't have to be an expert, but I don't
know that many orgs have dedicated Hadoop administrators that don't have to
touch some code at some point, even if to integrate components together.
An "administrator" could still be expected to write some kind of MapReduce job,
whether it be using the streaming API or some other higher level language like
Pig.
