I wouldn't use Trino if you are looking to ONLY query a single database like Clickhouse or Postgres etc (unless you want an ANSI SQL abstraction over your choice of database). Obviously ClickHouse and Postgres will have lower latency when hit directly because you can bypass the analysis, planning, optimization and scheudling that Trino does. It does federation better than ClickHouse and that's where it shines. Joins across disparate systems - even between relational and non-relational systems. And obviously for the MPP queries on distributed filesystems.
