      Hi Sankar, the only prerequisite for learning Hadoop is knowledge in Core Java. A lot of profs from testing background are taking this course as this is a natural progression. On taking this course you will learn how to debug MapReduce codes, to check whether Pig/Hive query are meeting the specs or not. So it will be a mix of Whitebox -Blackbox strategy. What we are seeing as of now is just a start and there is a lot of potential for professionals who will be the early movers in Big Data space. Hadoop is a relatively new field, and professionals with experience like you are updating themselves with Hadoop for better career opportunities. The Hadoop certification program provides you the hands-on experience that is essential. You will be working on projects where you will be performing Big Data Analytics using Map Reduce, Pig, Hive & HBase. You will get practical exposure about Data Loading techniques in Hadoop using Flume and SQOOP. You will understand how Oozie is used to schedule and manage Hadoop Jobs. You will also understand how the Hadoop Project environment is setup and how the Test environment is setup. All this exposure and hands-on approach will provide you the necessary experience.
