Give Flume (http://flume.apache.org/) a chance to collect your data.

I have studied Flume but I didn't find any thing useful in my case.
My requirement is there is a directory in Windows machine, in which the
files will be generated and keep updated with new logs. I want to have a
tail kind of mechanism (using exec source) through which I can push the
latest updates into the cluster.
Or I have to simply push once in a day to the cluster using spooling
directory mechanism.

Can somebody assist whether it is possible using Flume if so the
configurations needed for this specific to remote windows machine.

Yes. It is possible. I haven't tries windows+flume+hadoop combo
personally, but it should work. You may find this
link<http://mapredit.blogspot.in/2012/07/run-flume-13x-on-windows.html>useful.

has explained beautifully how to run Flume on a windows box.If I
get time i'll try to simulate your use case and let you know.

BTW, could you please share with us whatever you have tried??

That link talks about just installing Flume on Windows machine (NOT even
have configs to push logs to the Hadoop cluster), but what if I have to
collect logs from various clients, then I will endup installing in all
clients.

I have installed Flume successfully on Linux but I have to configure it
such a way that it should gather the log files from the remote windows box?

Harsh can you throw some light on this?

One approach I used in my lab was the "data-gateway",
which is a small linux box which just mounts Windows Shares
and a single flume node on the gateway corresponds to the
HDFS cluster. With tail or periodic log rotation you have control
over all logfiles, depending on your use case. Either grab all
incomming data and buffer it in Flume or just move all new data
during night to the cluster. The gateway also contains sqoop
and HDFS client if needed.
