I learn about tidb from infoQ , looks like tidb is a distributed mpp database , so I want to know the different between tidb and hawq which derived from greenplum db,and what's the advancement of tidb.

@lordk911 In one word, TiDB is an OLTP database and hawq/gpdb is OLAP database. To handle large dataset, TiDB supports mpp. But we will focus on OLTP now and only support simple OLAP function.

PS: We encourage describing issue in English. So people from all the world could read your issue.
