$Splunk(SPLK)$ Splunk, a machine log big data company based in the San Francisco Bay Area, plans to expand the scale of its work from 2,000 to 4,000 this year. This is a very large expansion number, which is 100% more than the original. This shows that the business is growing very much. fast. According to Yan Lizhong, president of Splunk China, we have no opponents in splunk. I am thinking, how can there be no opponents? Then I went to find a Chinese dissertation to study splunk's dissertation, a total of three, published in the preprinted arxiv.org website on the splunk literature, a total of only one. So, it's not that there are no opponents, but that we are not enough for splunk research.
