Hi,
I am using Splunk Java SDK for developing an application in which splunk is used as database. I am aware that there is no perfect mapping between database and Splunk but there are analogs.
Please help map following analogs from database.
1. How to find data type and length of fields returned from the search?
2. What is the default data type that can be assigned to the field?
3. What can be the Maximum length/size of field?
4. Is there a unique identifier for events, similar to primary key we have in other database? What fields can be considered to be primary key for search events?
Is there API available in Splunk for implementing above things or please suggest alternate way to achieve this.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance,
Pravin Sanadi
