So, the obvious question is does it connect easily with Scuba? From the paper, Scuba doesn't support joins, so would that logic be handled in Presto?

We are working on a Scuba connector.

Sorry, didn't answer the core question. We are working on a Scuba connector specifically to bring joins and other powerful SQL features to Scuba. These features are handled by the Presto query engine, so data in existing non-relation systems can be easily analyzed. Even better, Presto can join data across connectors to formerly isolated systems.
