Spark is not pure MR. Spark has Spark Dataframes and Datasets with SQL-like syntax. You can even write pure SQL and not mess with the Dataframe API at all.

Presto is nice, but you can't use it for an ETL job. It is great for analysis.

Presto works great for ETL. It supports CREATE TABLE, INSERT and DELETE for Hive data. Many companies use it for ETL. See examples here:
