All BigData and Cloudera Certifications Products

No doubt that Cloudera is one of the Pioneer and leader for the big data technology. And Cloudera really created the market for big data and also did very good job for Hadoop framework.

Similarly in case of Hadoop and Spark certification CCA175 Cloudera not only evaluate the Spark technology but also evaluate the Hadoop skill. And you have to solve all the given problem on Cloudera cloud-based platform.

The reason why most of the companies are looking for professional with Cloudera CCA175 Hadoop and Spark developer certification, because they have already deployed Cloudera enterprise platform in the production environment, companies in the domain like investment banks healthcare IT companies, retail E-Commerce companies, airline and travel platform, startup which are working on data science research projects as well as machine learning solutions.

There's another reason, like Hadoop can be easily deployed on cloud platform for example AWS, Azure etc.

There is another feather recently added by merging Cloudera and Hortonworks together to lead the big data technology world.

The reason why Cloudera always remain leader because it continuously accepts new technology and update their platform very frequently compared to any other provider . For example Cloudera have adopted recent version of spark as well. They have very good support for hive, pig, OoZie, and their own develop solution Impala which can run much faster than hive.

These are the only few reason and there are much more which made Cloudera platform very popular in the big data world.

So in CCA175 exam Cloudera evaluate your skills based on 8 to 10 problems solutions which you need to solve using Hadoop Hive pig and spark (you can use either 1.x or 2.x version of Spark, its upto you). Cloudera is really not worried what technology you use to solve a problem but rather they want problem should be solved efficiently. Whether you use map-reduce, Hive, Impala or shell script for cleaning up the data. There would be at least three to four exercises on Apache spark, in that  they would give you already implemented some solution in the form of template and you need to fill in the remaining part using the functional programming either in Python or Scala. It is clearly said by the Cloudera that questions template would not be given in both python and Scala language for the assessment. It is up to you whether you want to write entire program your own or you want to use existing skeleton (template) provided by the Cloudera during the exam. Hence it is expected you are very good on the Apache Spark Core as well as Spark SQL at least.

This exam has higher value because it evaluates both the Hadoop and Spark in single certification exam. Complete name of the exam is CCA175 Spark and Hadoop developer. Where CCA means Cloudera Certified Associate. You can check the entire syllabus here on this page where we have provided the detailed description as well. If you have been given 10 problem statement in the real exam then at least seven problem statement you have to solve completely to clear the exam. We have seen most of our learners have scored around 9 to 10 problem solutions comfortably in the given time slot. We got the feedback that without practicing all the material provided by the HadoopExam.com you would not be able to complete the exam on time. As well as learners are able to complete the exam with the correct solutions and we are happy to share with you the same things. HadoopExam.com is providing Cloudera certification preparation material since last 6 years and our technical team had good expertise on that.

Currently the cost for this certification exam is 295 dollar, but we have seen sometime Cloudera give good discount on the fee as well or some companies have purchased coupon in bulk.

Other than this, what we have seen Impala and Hive mostly used to solve problem. For Spark they provide the skeleton for the problem scenario and you can use either Scala or python to solve the given problem. Skeleton would be provided only in one of the language like Python or Scala. If you know Scala and Cloudera provided skeleton in Scala, you may use this skeleton to complete the program, it may help you save the time during the exam. However, it is not mandatory that you use the skeleton provided rather you can completely write entire program from scratch.

As most of learners use the HadoopExam.com preparation material and with this practice material they are comfortably completing the exam on time or before and scoring around 9 to 10 questions perfectly.
