Even after being good at so many technologies, she wanted to learn more so she could keep up with the industry. She found Big Data as the future of the IT industry and noticed a continuous growth in this industry. She then decided to take a right move toward Big Data.<\/p>\n<p><em>-she says<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While working with older technologies, I felt a need to keep myself updated with newer technology. I found Big Data as the latest\u00a0growing technology in IT world as it is mandatory for everyone, today or later you will have to learn it.\u00a0I could see my bright future in this industry because\u00a0data proliferation will never end. Hence, companies will always need Big Data professionals to handle the large volume of\u00a0data. Then, I decided to choose Hadoop and Big Data as my career.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>How Arpita learned Big Data<\/h3>\n<p>Arpita knew the\u00a0basics of Big Data and HDFS. To learn more, she started looking for the online institutes who could provide better guidance for Big Data. She inquired at many institutes, asked them details for the course. Then she finalized DataFlair as the best one, enrolled for <a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/hadoop-spark-developer-course\/\"><strong class=\"df-success-story\">Big Data Hadoop and Spark course<\/strong><\/a>. She started learning Big Data with DataFlair. Here, she got hands-on experience through live projects and assignments. Also, she learned all the concepts of Big Data and Hadoop. She shared -<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Only with the help of DataFlair, it became possible for me to learn Big Data and Hadoop quickly. After enrolling for the Big Data Hadoop and Spark course, I started my learning. I learned all the basic concepts of Big Data, Hadoop and Spark. Then, I practiced them with real-time projects and assignments that gave me hands-on experience. After the completion of the curriculum, there was a session of the mock interview that really proved helpful for me. The instructor taught me each and every required thing to become a master of Big Data.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Big Data Interview Questions Arpita was Asked<\/h3>\n<p>Arpita faced many technical rounds and experienced many interviews. She shared some of the questions that change her career.<\/p>\n<p>Questions were from the technologies - Spark, Big Data, Hadoop, Hive, SQL, HDFS, Scala, Linux, Kafka, and NoSQL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.1<\/strong> What is the architecture of real-time project?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.2\u00a0<\/strong>Why did you choose a particular technology for your project?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.3<\/strong> Conceptual questions of Spark, Hive, HDFS, SQL, and Scala<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.4<\/strong> What is performance tuning in Hive, HDFS, and Spark?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.5<\/strong> What challenges did you face during development?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q.6<\/strong>\u00a0Scenario-based questions on Hive, Spark, Hadoop, and SQL.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ss-course-box\"><b>It's Your Turn to Crack the Interview <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/hadoop-spark-developer-course\/\"><span class=\"ss-course-button\">Enroll Now<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How was her experience with DataFlair?<\/h3>\n<p>When Arpita was asked to share her experience about DataFlair, she says-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>DataFlair is a true place to learn and grow in today's booming technology. My experience with DataFlair was awesome. DataFlair provided me the best mentor, he taught each and everything about Big Data and Hadoop. I can never find a mentor like\u00a0him. Here the students are taught for their bright career, not for making money\u00a0out of their fees. DataFlair team always kept their batch motivated by positive stories and experiences. It is the best GURUKUL to learn and work on real-time\u00a0projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Arpita's tips to other students<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>I would like to advise others who are willing for Big Data jobs and want to transform their careers from any other technology to Big Data to enroll for the course now.\u00a0 They can follow my strategy to crack upcoming interviews -<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tip 1 - Follow your mentor words and instructions to grow in this industry.
