-
No lock in on the query layer. You can change the query layer when it doesn't meet the technical or financial requirements anymore.
-
Get all the capabilities of an OLAP database like the ability to do JOINs and materialized views on the data within Apache Iceberg (you can also do a JOIN across an Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi and Apache Hive table).
