@messai1985 - 3 small points should answer your question in brief.

Yes, technically, Splunk can do almost everything that Hadoop can do as Splunk has broader Splunk functionality.
Everytime I think of comparing two products there is always trade-off.
- Splunk is really good with raw text data. Splunk can also do structured data but will not perform as good as databases.
- Hadoop can be after the data that has been migrated from the SQL database to Hadoop.
You can also use a combination of both, Splunk and Hadoop:

- https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3311/
- (I personally have not used these Apps, read the docs please)

I hope this helps!!!
