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 three packages for server use.
groonga-httpd (nginx and HTTP based server package)
Groonga HTTP server (HTTP based server package)
groonga-server-gqtp(GQTP 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 HTTP server at first, because it provides fulfilling server functionality.
If you have performance issues which is derived from protocol overheads, consider to use groonga-server-gqtp.
