How is the hadoop marked in the UK/Europe?

[jfbaro <je...@yahoo.com.br>]

Hi guys,

I have been investing some time in learning/experimenting Hadoop and I am
getting quite excited about it. I was wondering how hard it would be to get
a job in a company which is already using (or about to use) this
techonology.

It seems to me only huge companies and Data Centres are the market for
Hadoop, is that right?

I tried to find Haddop job opportunities through job agencies but these
opportunities seem pretty rare.

Thanks very much

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
find another startup company using hadoop.  I just was asked to perform due
diligence on a 12 person web-search startup and was pleased and surprised to
find that they used hadoop/nutch/lucene based systems.

I think that you are looking in the wrong places.
