Yes, it is similar to BigQuery with a couple of differences as you pointed out. The big ones being that it's fully open source and self-hostable.
It's less similar to Apache Drill - Drill is "only" a query engine and doesn't handle the actual data storage. EventQL combines a bigtable-like storage engine (optimized for the analytics use case) with a dremel/bigquery/dremel-like query engine.
