We use the Splunk Hadoop Data Roll to move our frozen data over to our Hadoop cluster. The writing of the data to HDFS seems to work pretty well, but the searching of it through Splunk doesn't work well at all. We get lots of different errors from the query not parsing correctly (some problem with how splunk translates the parenthesis) or some mysterious error happens in the MR job on Hadoop.
We use Cloudera, and would like to be able to query the data there through Hue/Hive as an alternative to our terrible experience trying to query the hadoop data through Splunk. Can anyone offer guidance on how to query the 'rolled' data on a Cloudera Hadoop cluster without going through Splunk search?
