That's true, BUT to query you need to have the ability to perform joins. That is what makes raw MapReduce such a pain and even higher level abstractions slow. I like the idea that Dremel is showing, I even downloaded the Google paper to read tonight, but the Apache implementation needs to have joins otherwise it's not a "query tool".

You can join on top of BigQuery with small join tables. https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/query-reference#...
