The most beneficial aspect is that it allows for easy configuration, as well as being very flexible with regards to how data can interact in various scenarios (i'm talking about Spark here). I've worked extensively using Apache Hive / PrestoDB/Druid etc., but this was something new - never heard or used before so wasn't sure what would happen! However once we started playing around there were no major issues encountered other than some initial learning curve when configuring things like spark jobs vs hive tables; however these are minor hiccups which i have overcome fairly easily compared against previous environments where everything had been set up perfectly beforehand!!
