Yanza seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

A scale-out RDBMS with evolutionary schema built on Apache HBase

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

Automatically scaling NoSQL Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the Google Cloud Platform

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
