Python is not mandatory for learning spark. But if you have some core Java skills, that will be the add on to learn spark.

Basically Spark is a framework. To work on Spark, you need to be familiar (middle level) with Java/Scala/python

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.

If you think you are strong in finance and costing, I would suggest you a SAP FICO course which is definitely always in demand. if you have an experience as a end user on SAP PLM / Documentation etc, even a course on SAP PLM DMS should be good.
