Hadoop is new technology.  You aren't going to find opportunities to work
with it via job agencies.

That said, there is a growing trend towards scalable systems in general and
Hadoop in particular.  Lately, it seems that everywhere I turn around, I

Hi,

I didn't investigate EU market in details but was able to notice that at
least two interesting start-ups were offering Hadoop based jobs:

Last.fm (London based internet radio)
Properazzi.com (Barcelona based real estate search engine)

Also I am not sure what Ted was going to tell us... his email ended somehow
prematurely. May be he was going to mention some other companies. Anyway,
you can investigate powered by wiki sites of Hadoop and related projects
(like Lucene, Solr ...).

For example Solr powered by wiki site is here:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/PublicServers (contains Properazzi) and Hadoop
powered by wiki si here: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PoweredBy (contains
Last.fm)

Lukas
