Hello everyone, I would like to ask you a very important and very urgent question to ask you, hadoop a language Please give me an answer please by explaining me clearly.

All 3 of them have their pros and cons:

Java is a great language to use for driving both Hadoop and Spark but it's way too verbose,  at least before Java8 but if you already know Java there is no urgent need to learn any other languages in order to efficiently use Hadoop and/or Spark.

Python is far easier to learn if you just begun programming. It is a "sexy"  language with an amazing plethora of scientific (ML included)  libraries.

Scala...  well,  Scala simply rocks! It's Java on steroids ++. Also keep in mind that Spark is actually written in Scala (I'm a Scala programmer so,  I admit being a little bit biased.)
