HyPer and MemSQL are in-memory databases. CockroachDB is not. This is a big difference.

And according to HyPer home page, HyPer doesn't look distributed, which is another big difference.

MemSQL used to be just in-memory. It added a second storage engine designed to hold data on disk using a column store.
