Hadoop is one of the most opted for courses at IIHT. We are listing the most frequently asked Hadoop interview questions and should be of great help to you in your next interview. Keeping aside few interviewer specific twist during interviews, you’ll get a firm hold of basics of Hadoop and its framework in this blog.
