IMO it is not a fair comparison between EMR and MapR flavor of hadoop as they are designed for different usecases. MapR and other flavors of hadoop are engineered to make the task of administering a long running cluster easy. In comparison, EMR has a rudimentary set of tools for peaking into a running cluster.
Whereas AWS offering is ideally suited for transient clusters. It relies on other solutions like Athena, Redshift Spectrum to cater for ad-hoc use cases such as querying and reporting. In this regard, EMR has much better support for programmability and elastic resource provisioning which is really important for transient clusters.
