5.1. Server packages¶
The package groonga is the minimum set of fulltext search engine.
If you want to use groonga for server use, you can install
additional preconfigured packages.
There are two packages for server use.
groonga-httpd(nginx and HTTP protocol based server package)groonga-server-gqtp(GQTP protocol based server package)
There is the reason why groonga supports not only GQTP but also two HTTP server
packages. GQTP - Groonga Query Transfer Protocol is desined to reduce overheads
and improve performance. But, GQTP is less support of client library than HTTP protocol does.
As HTTP is matured protocol, you can take advantage of existing tool and there are many client
library (See related projects for details).
If you use groonga-httpd package, you can also take benefits of nginx functionality.
We recommend to use groonga-httpd at first, because it provides fullfilling server functionality.
If you have performance issues which is derived from protocol overheads, consider to use groonga-server-gqtp.
Note
In the previous versions, there is a
groonga-server-httppackage (simple HTTP protocol based server package). It is now marked as obsolete, please usegroonga-httpdpackages instead.groonga-server-httppackage became a transitional package forgroonga-httpd.
