“For those working with Hadoop and MapReduce, a CCHP certification serves to establish them as a trusted and valuable resource,” said Christophe Bisciglia, Founder at Cloudera. “Developers, technical leaders, and data management specialists can use a CCHP credential to demonstrate their experience with Hadoop and MapReduce while customers can reduce risk by relying on contractors and suppliers who retain current Cloudera Certification for their personnel.”
This CCHP test focuses on the basic principles of large-scale data processing with Hadoop and MapReduce. Specifically, it will cover:
* Hadoop Basics
* Data Import / Export
* MapReduce Algorithms and Applications
* Hive and Pig Basics
