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.

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.
