Upwork’s latest skills index has a bunch of surprises for the hungry freelance market. It’s time to brush off your Hadoop skills and revisit your science textbooks. We take a look at what skills you should highlight on your resume, from machine learning skills to data security certifications.

Big data was born on the back of Apache Hadoop. Today, we take a look at the latest version of this open source framework for distributed computing, Hadoop 3.2! Highlights include powerful new features and deep learning applications.

When the readily available tools won’t cut it, build a new one! And this is exactly what LinkedIn did to natively run TensorFlow on Apache Hadoop; TonY is now open source. Let’s have a look at what’s under this framework’s hood!

Hadoop is back! The latest version [3.0.0] of the Open Source software framework for reliable, scalable, distributed computing brings a lot of new features, including an early preview (alpha 2) of a major revision of YARN Timeline Service, shell script rewrite and more.
