mysql is a popular database system. I prefer derby technically because
it offers no external dependencies. Because derby is a Java
application I can pick up the pieces and move them to a different
directory or a dedicated server. 100% pure is a big perk for me. Also
as of right now Derby is the target platform.

I have not looked for a benchmark Derby against MySQL. However
remember that a hive query might run for hours, a few ms latency in
fetching Derby meta data is a much smaller order of magnitude.

The above is opinion based on my deployment.
