I want to work as a HADOOP ADMINISTRATOR.
I currently work as system admin.
But they prefer Java experience or database experience.
but I don't think We need any such experience, I have worked on SAndbox of Hortonworks.
Managed cluster's.etc.
But I need a job for HADOOP admin.
Then should I do JAva and Hadoop certifications?
Or I should search a job for Java devleoper.
(I am not very good in coding..!!).
I can develop small apps like chess or tic tac toe. etc good in Applet,graphics...BUT NOT A HARDCORE PROGRAMMER. AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BECOME.

Not sure why people would ask for Java development experience for a Hadoop administrator role, as Hadoop administration is a big and complicated area that clearly needs Unix sys admin (or perhaps DBA) experience much more than Java development skills. For example, I'm a developer who has been trying to install a Hadoop cluster in our office, and I definitely don't have the right skills! So I think the people who are asking for Java skills for a Hadoop admin are just looking for the wrong thing.
Maybe you should find a potential employer who at least knows what they should be looking for in a Hadoop administrator, so they will appreciate your relevant experience. The advert you showed seems to be looking for the right kind of skills:
You could look at suitable Hadoop administrator certification with Hortonworks or Cloudera, although these are probably quite expensive.
Also, Hortonworks Sandbox includes lots of excellent tutorials aimed at developers/data analysts e.g. in Pig, Hive etc, which might be helpful if you think you need to know more about how people actually use Hadoop.
