p>If your data is stored in Hadoop, Hunk is the obvious choice because it can operate directly on the data with no need for large-scale data intake. However, if you have the option of extracting data from Hadoop, the question arises whether it might be better to switch from Hadoop to Splunk Enterprise.
Advantages of Hunk:
Hunk typically takes up less disk space compared to Splunk Enterprise, reducing storage costs
Hunk lets you keep data in Hadoop in its original format and continue to use tools from the Hadoop ecosystem
Advantages of Splunk Enterprise:
In many cases, searches in Splunk Enterprise run much faster than Hunk on Hadoop
Supports real-time searches, which is not possible with Hadoop
Latency is typically much lower for long-running searches
You can use Splunk Forwarders to ingest log data from a large variety of IT systems, while it can be difficult to continuously ingest data from these sources to Hunk
