Hadoop experience


I get call from many recruiters where they ask for 4-7 years experience in Hadoop for a technology that just started in 2010 and just picked in 2014 how can people demand such high experience and that to for the role of a developer.

It is in this context I strongly feel that recruiters should also do some background work for a role and skills needed before blindly cold calling people for roles. Even if they ask someone that will also help. Many recruiters have called me and some even ask about what's the expected experience and I do help. The companies and the recruiters should be realistic about the skills and experience that is required should be prepared for skill enhancement and training.

Unlike other skills big data skills are ever changing and need constant update and the technologies are irrelevant in months not even years hence realistic and a new approach to big data hiring is needed with focus on aptitude and skill development than throwing cash.
