hi i know that hunk doesn't support real time searching for hadoop data.
how can i do if i will refresh or restart a search on background and print the result on dashboard like real time search.
it's just to simulate a reading flow data like real time search, just for watching result on dashboard without complexe request.
i think it's possible to use cron to reload the search request but the problem is the time betwen the end of search request and the next realoading.
thx
You can save a Hunk search as a report, and schedule it to run with any frequency you like. However, you still won't be doing a true real-time search, for a couple reasons. One is that processes which write data to HDFS usually have some latency, i.e. the data does not show up quickly enough to be considered "real-time". Secondly, map-reduce jobs are typically high throughput but high latency, so the job itself may introduce a large delay. Also, please consider that if you schedule a search to be very frequent, it may take up considerable resources that will then not be available for other activity on your cluster. You should consider instead using Report Acceleration:

If you truly need real-time searches, consider first ingesting your data into a regular Splunk index, and then archiving the data to HDFS:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Hunk/6.4.3/Hunk/ArchivingSplunkindexes
You are right, since Hunk does not support real-time, you will have a gap between the end of the search and the start of the next search.
but how can i do to simulate searching like real time ?
