$wgSharedTables is outdated. I will add a deprecation warning.

A section is collection of wiki databases. A shared database like centralauth
is treated like a wiki in that it can be in a section. 

A query group (sometimes abbreviated to "group") is the set of queries which
come from a particular caller or a related set of callers, for example user
contributions queries. Query group configuration allows such queries to be
directed to particular slaves, to make efficient use of the RAM cache or to
avoid having one feature overload the server used by another feature.

A cluster is a master DB server and its associated slaves, which are used by
ExternalStoreDB for reading and writing article text data.
