Mroonga is a MySQL storage engine based on the Groonga search engine.
It adds high performance full text search capabilities to MySQL and lets users use Groonga through SQL. The project is designed for multilingual search workloads and can be used either as its own storage engine or as a wrapper that adds Groonga-powered search to other storage engines.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Delivers fast full text search for many languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
- Supports both a storage mode and a wrapper mode for engines such as InnoDB and MyISAM.
- Offers fast index updates and improved search performance for workloads with frequent data changes.
- Provides geolocation search by using MySQL’s geolocation SQL syntax.
- Can share the same Groonga storage between Mroonga and Groonga server processes.
- Runs as an independent MySQL plugin that can be dynamically loaded.
