Integrating Hunk with EMR and S3 is a pretty sensible proposition. If we connect the vast amounts of data that we store in HDFS or S3 with the rich capabilities of Hunk, we can build a full analytics solution for any type of data and any size of data on the cloud:
Fundamentally, we have a three-tier architecture. The first tier is data storage based on HDFS or S3. The next one is the compute or processing framework, provided by EMR. Finally, the visualization, data discovery, analytics, and app development framework is provided by Hunk.
The traditional method for hosting Hunk in the cloud is to simply buy a standard license and then provision a virtual machine in much the same way you would do it on-site. The instance would then have to be manually configured to point to the correct Hadoop or AWS cluster. This method is also called Bring Your Own License (BYOL).
On the other hand, Splunk and Amazon offer another method, in which Hunk instances can be automatically...
