Interesting combination of features, MPP query engine, but unlike the rest of the projects around Hadoop they can push down queries where data sits instead of requiring a bulk copy to HDFS first. This is a real pain point for modern analytical workloads, analysts want the experience they knew when organizations could run on a single relational database, but it just doesn't match how applications need to be made these days. Pretty impressive list of connectors for a first release, SQL databases, Hbase, Hive, Mongo, Elasticsearch. Definitely going to give it a spin today.
