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.

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

Open source search engine for searching in data from different sources, e.g. relational databases
