Each of those factors can affect how long it takes to learn big data, but it's reasonable to take four to six months to understand the basics of big data.

Is big data tough to learn?

The short answer to the above question is a big NO! Data Science is hard to learn is primarily a misconception that beginners have during their initial days. As they discover the unique domain of data science more, they realise that data science is just another field of study that can be learned by working hard.

How about Hadoop: The Definitive Guide, from O'Reilly Media. It covers everything to do with Hadoop, MapReduce, HDFS and more.
