I don't think this is meaningfully HTAP, it's gluing together two completely different databases under a single interface. As far as I can tell, it doesn't provide transactional or consistency guarantees different than what you'd get with something like Materialize.
This isn't new either, people have been building OLAP storage engines into MySQL/Postgres for years, e.g., pg_ducklake and timescale.
Genuinely curious in what situation would you actually want transactional consistency in the same session as you are doing analytical or vector retrieval style use cases?
I might make the argument that paying the tax of delivering what you're arguing for has so many significant downsides in the end you'd have something you wouldn't really want anyway
