Python or java for bigdata with hadoop

#1

Hi,

Sorry if i’m asking silly question but this confuses me. please suggest.

  1. Can we go with Python language instead of java for hadoop big data.
  2. Can we skip java essential tutorial video from the course ‘Big data with hadoop and spark’ as i’m more familiar with python than java.

Thank you.

Yes, you can use Python for Hadoop MapReduce and other parts. Though Java is not required it gives your many lower lever configuration details for MapReduce. But no one uses MapReduce now in the industry as the industry is moving towards Spark and for Spark you can use either Python, Scala or Java.

Can we skip java essential tutorial video from the course ‘Big data with hadoop and spark’ as i’m more familiar with python than java.

Yes, you can skip Java essential topic.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
