Splunk Hadoop Connect 1.1 – Opening the door to MapR; now available on all Hadoop distributions
I am happy to announce that Splunk Hadoop Connect 1.1 is now available. This version of Hadoop Connect rounds out Splunk’s integration with the Hadoop distributions by becoming certified on MapR. Cloudera, Hortonworks, and Apache Hadoop distributions also have the ability to benefit from the power of Splunk.
Splunk Hadoop Connect provides bi-directional integration to easily and reliably move data between Splunk and Hadoop. It provides Hadoop users the ability to gain real-time analysis, visualization and role based access control for a stream of machine-generated data. It delivers three core capacities: Export data from Splunk to Hadoop, Explore Hadoop directories and Import data from Hadoop to Splunk.

Hadoop and Splunk Use cases
Customer Examples – Using both Splunk and Hadoop
The Splunk and Hadoop communities can benefit from each other’s strengths. Below are several examples of customers that use both environments.
| Use Case | Description |
| 1 – Splunk then Hadoop | Splunk collects, visualizes, and analyzes the data and passes it to Hadoop for ETL and other batch processing |
| 2 – Hadoop then Splunk | Hadoop Collects the Data, and passes the results to Splunk for Visualization |
| 3 – Data flows in both directions | Splunk and Hadoop collect different artifacts and share the data that Hadoop needs |

Do you Hadoop? How Splunk Can Help
Splunk is providing two applications to integrate Splunk with Hadoop: Splunk Hadoop Connect and the Splunk App for HadoopOps.
These two integrations provide solutions for two major issues of Hadoop. One issue is that developing Hadoop applications is time consuming. As a result, most Hadoop-related projects take a long time to develop, and once developed, still require specialized knowledge to adapt to new requirements. Another issue is that monitoring a Hadoop stack across multiple servers can be extremely complex and time consuming. As a result, critical problems in Hadoop environments will often reoccur and remain unresolved.
Splunk Hadoop Connect, Splunk App for HadoopOps, and Shuttl (archives Splunk files to Hadoop) provide a complete integration to Hadoop.
