fdpower!! Thank you for the great breakdown.
Your explanation regarding Hadoop is spot on. Its complex from day 1. While I have found HDFS, PIG, HIVE fairly learnable. Map Reduce is where I find it complex. I've spend few hours to analyze the code in one program and I bet it's not even that complex for people who have strong Java background. Lots of people in forums and reddit are saying that they don't even use Map Reduce anymore since tools like HIVE, PIG have come up as an alternative to Map Reduce. But I guess you have to master your Map Reduce skills in case those alternatives are not available when you go to a new company.
I have fairly a good background in IT including Linux, Networking. If I go for DevOps would it be a good idea?
