I am planning to get training on big data. any sajha friends working in big data field ?any advice ? any desi cosultancies that provide good training ? please share ....

I can give you online training if you have basic knowledge of Linux and Java but I cant help you to find job though..

gone12,

I know some basics of Linux but don't have any knowledge in java. Only programming i have done is PLSQL. But willing to learn Java. gone12, where do i stand ?

I think you are good enough , you just go online tutorial for core java programing and meantime you can start Bigdata training too.

any suggestion in getting training on Python? Not looking for job related to python but like to learn basic programming skills. Do not know any programming. Thanks,

As gone12 says, it is important to have knowledge of OO programming (mostly Java) and Linux. I would recommend to download a Cloudera or hortonworks in a virtual machine or vmware and use the example below to get little insight into big data world:

Cloudera: http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/downloads.html
Hortonworks: http://hortonworks.com/products/hortonworks-sandbox/#install
Example: http://www.ikzen.com/downloads/ikzen-1.12.14.zip

biology, I am relatively new to big data but I started learning about basic hadoop eco-system and mapreduce last year only. If you are really interested to understand big data than python is good to start with. Here is a link to lectures from Cloudera with python.

In same boat like bhunteykaji, how tough is getting placement in big data? Have done some online training and self study. It's hard to find any use cases. Anybody working in hadoop development/admin?

I am also learning BigData by myself. I am currently working in datawarehousing/SQL/ETL stuffs and trying to jump into this bigdata. It's very hard to find nepalese working in BigData. I am also taking some paid training too. Please keep this thread live so that we can share our experience. Why don't we create a a separate google group for this nepalese big data conversation?
Your thoughts?

I got an opportunity to play around with BIG data for POC.
I did use hortonworks.
I am up for learning more on big data although I am not a database guy.

thanks guys for inputs. Lets keep this thread alive and hopefully we can gather more attention from nepalese in big data and grasp better perspective. looks like most of us are in same boat, i like the idea of virusno1 to create a separate google group. lets do it !

I've also started reading this book http://www.amazon.com/Hadoop-Definitive-Guide-Tom-White-ebook/dp/B0082FE448/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1424821748&sr=1-2&keywords=Hadoop. It has some detail information regarding MapReduce

I think the best Sajha thread I have read in the recent times. Please count me in too. I am also interested to move on from this ETL testing thing.

Jai Nepal!!

Has anyone in this thread experience real Hadoop interview question? If yes can you please post it here.

I created a google group "Big_Data_Learners" for sharing experiences, and knowledge on Hadoop. If any working on it actually, few knowledge sharing would help others too. Send email to xpox9000@gmail.com to get added to this group

Added myself!

Added myself!

This is great stuff !xpox9000 thanks for putting together. I just sent the request as well.
