This paper serves as a good introduction to the declarative data analytics tools.

Declarative analytics performs data analysis using a declarative syntax instead of functions for specific algorithms. Using declarative syntax, one can “describe what you want the program to achieve rather than how to achieve it”.
To be declarative, the declarative language has to be specific on the tasks. With this, we can only turn the knobs of some predefined model. To me, this is a deal-breaker.

Anyways, this paper is still a good read.
