Overall Feedbacks
The HDPCD Spark Developer Certification is a hands-on, performance-intensive certification for Apache Spark Developers on the Hortonworks Data Platform. Apache Spark is a fast, in-memory data computation engine with expressive APIs to facilitate Data Science, Machine Learning, Streaming applications and providing iterative access. It is an extremely sought out technology that is currently being used by Data Barons such as Samsung, TripAdvisor, Yahoo!, eBay and many others. HDPCD Spark Certified Developers have an edge over the rest of the world because examinees perform a specific number of tasks on a live installation platform provided by Hortonworks rather than simply answering questions. Memorizing and reciting the by-hearted concepts doesn’t work with HDPCD- these are the developers that get work done and the world sees them in a different light altogether.
In this certification, with Spark, having an extremely wide application base, Hortonworks recognizes that all tasks to be performed on a live cluster are rather daunting. Hence, they mandate that aspirants work only on SparkCore and SparkSQL applications before appearing for this certification. Developers may choose from either Scala and/or Python as the programming language and create applications using them. This Whizlabs course recommends Scala as the preferred Analytics language due to its simple LINQ type syntax.
Note that the exam vouchers are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Yes. We write frequently about certification preparation tips on our blog. Here’s how to prepare for Spark Developer Certification (HDPCD) Exam?
No, there are no MCQs; instead, live, performance-based test is conducted to gauge the application of concepts. Usually, there are 7-8 tasks provided, out of which a candidate must perform at least 6. The exam is of 2 hours and costs 250 USD per attempt.
HDPCD Spark Certification is valid for a particular version of the Spark. So, for example, if at the time of appearing you worked on Spark v2.2 (current), your certification would hold good until Spark v2.2 is in use.
This certification is open for all, i.e. aspirants who wish to make Data Science as their career path should pursue the certification. Going by usual trends, Analysts and Developers, both alike, usually appear for this certification.
