We will support Cassandra in our next releases of Hunk (Splunk on top of Hadoop) by the end of this year. Then you can point Hunk to Cassandra for your need.

If you export data out of Cassandra somehow and get Splunk to ingest that data, sure. But, Splunk cannot itself read anything out of Cassandra in the way that you seem to want.

No it's not. Splunk has created the index concept of it's own back end DB.
