First of all, Splunk is a great product. However, myself and a friend both found some major issues in the Splunk 6 SDK...
My friend works with the Splunk PHP SDK, and I work with Splunk Python SDK. We work on completely separate projects in different cities. Everything worked fine for us with Splunk 5... yet the Splunk 6 SDK has similar issues for both of us... so I know this is not an isolated incident.
We both upgraded to Splunk 6 and the latest SDKs, but Splunk 6 broke both our back-end code (https API on 8089). We could connect to the server, but had various issues getting data out. Within 24h we both downgraded back to Splunk 5 , which solved the problems.
To Splunk: Pleaes fix your SDKs! They are broken! Heck, even just run the latest version (1.1) Python SDK unit tests against Splunk 6. The unit tests don't work. We see these issues in the PHP SDK and Python SDK, so I assume they must exist in other SDKs.
hint: for Python, look at ./examples/search.py. That won't run. However, ./examples/oneshot.py runs fine.
You've got a great product... please fix your SDK.
