My knowledge is still quite limited because I never worked on the internals of distributed databases (I've only used and deployed them as an intern) but I have taken Advanced Databases CZ4031 in NTU and Parallel and Distributed Algorithms CS4231 in NUS which helped me get some basic understanding so you can consider taking those if you are interested. If you want to see how an open source database looks like, I would recommend TiDB because their documentation is quite good.
