What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)

  • Update tidb-cloud/tidb-cloud-glossary.md to use the current default Region size (256 MiB) instead of the outdated 96 MB.
  • Keep the change scoped to the glossary entry so it stays consistent with the current TiKV Region default described elsewhere in the docs.

Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to? (Required)

Tips for choosing the affected version(s):

By default, CHOOSE MASTER ONLY so your changes will be applied to the next TiDB major or minor releases. If your PR involves a product feature behavior change or a compatibility change, CHOOSE THE AFFECTED RELEASE BRANCH(ES) AND MASTER.

For details, see tips for choosing the affected versions.

  • master (the latest development version)
  • v8.5 (TiDB 8.5 versions)
  • v8.4 (TiDB 8.4 versions)
  • v8.3 (TiDB 8.3 versions)
  • v8.2 (TiDB 8.2 versions)
  • v8.1 (TiDB 8.1 versions)
  • v7.5 (TiDB 7.5 versions)
  • v7.1 (TiDB 7.1 versions)
  • v6.5 (TiDB 6.5 versions)
