In gravity, hydro is usually discussed either at the level of correlation functions (e.g. dispersion relations of QNM), or at the level of the equations of motion (fluid-gravity correspondence). Effective action for hydrodynamics from gravity? This was already done for the Brownian motion by Son+Teaney, The effective action S[q, p] is the ra version of the Schwinger- Keldysh formalism.
