Hello! How do you guys suggest someone get into the hbase/hadoop industry with a focus on the software development side (as oppose to ops) ?
If all you have done is read a few books, played around with hbase and maybe cloudera's packages how exactly would that result in getting some kind of employment in the industry? I'm not sure how mature the market is so I am weary if it is a good idea or not to focus in this domain. Do most people just fall into the industry b/c their company provides training and real-life problems to solve? i.e. you have to be in a company that at some point adopts hadoop/hbase and you are fortunate enough to get on the project.
