The record

Product: TBase is an enterprise-level distributed HTAP database that provides distributed database and data warehouse services through one cluster.
Database capabilities: TBase supports an extended subset of SQL, including transactions, foreign keys, user-defined types and functions.
Cluster architecture: A TBase cluster uses Coordinator Nodes, DataNodes and a Global Transaction Manager; coordinators plan queries and DataNodes store user data.
Distribution: Tables can be distributed or replicated, and TBase sends queries to data nodes and collects the results.
Deployment: The maker's quick-start guide describes compiling from source and deploying the cluster across one or more hosts, including basic x86 servers.
Cluster administration: The pgxc_ctl tool helps configure and manage clusters.
Table types: The usage guide covers shard tables, partitioned shard tables, hot and cold partitioned shard tables, and replication tables.
Shard-table limit: For shard tables, the distribution-key field's value, length and type cannot be modified.
Replication-table limit: Replication tables store a full copy on every DataNode; the guide says they are unsuitable for large tables and have low update performance.
Query and memory monitoring: The V2.2.0 notes describe viewing session memory, inspecting execution details for operators on DataNodes, and viewing cluster-wide active sessions from a coordinator.
Security and auditing: The repository describes security and audit as included functions and specifies the BSD 3-Clause License, with a listed third-party component exception.
Language connectivity: The repository says TBase has language interfaces similar to PostgreSQL.
Maker: The repository is published under Tencent; the opened official pages do not state TBase's headquarters or founding year.
