Go for Spark training. Spark has already started replacing Hadoop (Mapreduce in particular), and since you are already familiar with SQL, it will be easier for you. Python is a much-used language in BigData, but you don't need to learn. It is mainly used for ML / Data science projects.

Hi Sourav, SQL and UNIX will also help you in the significant data domain, but I would suggest Python or java if you want to learn Spark. First Start with a fundamental concept in spark and try writing some spark code and execute them in Data brick Free cluster.

Hello Sourav, Yes you can go for hadoop/spark training with your current profile. You don't need to learn python for it. Basic knowledge of database is enough to learn hadoop/spark.
