MapR Launches Free Online Hadoop Training Program

As we’ve noted there’s an increasing demand for workers with Apache Hadoop skills. But if you’re a developer or IT operations professional, how can you learn more about Hadoop? MapR, a company that sells its own enterprise distribution of Hadoop (see our coverage), announced a new training program today called MapR Academy, which offers free online video training in various aspects of Hadoop.

The videos are categorized by role: developer, administrator or business user. The videos are as follows:

Admin:

  • NFS Concepts
  • Data Protection
  • Container
  • Scalability

Developer:

  • Writing MapReduce
  • NFS Concepts
  • Hadoop 101
  • Tuning MapReuce

Business user:

  • NFS Concepts
  • Container
  • Hadoop 101
  • Hadoop Scalability

There are also videos introducing clusters, mirrors and snapshots and one on enterprise Hadoop. Users can also submit videos from YouTube.

Services Angle

This isn’t a certification program, and though these videos will get you more knowledge they won’t necessarily land you a job. But this looks like a good resource for beginning or extending knowledge in the Hadoop domain.
