Mroonga is a full text search storage engine based on Groonga, which is an open-source CJK-ready (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) fulltext search engine using column base. See groonga.org for more.

With Mroonga, you can have a CJK-ready full text search feature, and it is faster than the MyISAM and InnoDB full text search for both updating and searching.

Mroonga also supports Groonga's fast geolocation search by using MariaDB's geolocation SQL syntax.

Mroonga currently only supports Linux x86_64 (Intel64/AMD64).

How to Install

Enable Mroonga with the following statement:

INSTALL SONAME 'ha_mroonga';

On Debian and Ubuntu mroonga engine will be installed with

sudo apt-get install mariadb-plugin-mroonga

See Plugin overview for details on installing and uninstalling plugins.

SHOW ENGINES can be used to check whether Mroonga is installed correctly:

SHOW ENGINES;
...

     Support: YES

Once the plugin is installed, add a UDF (User-Defined Function) named "last_insert_grn_id", that returns the record ID assigned by groonga in INSERT, by the following SQL.

CREATE FUNCTION last_insert_grn_id RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'ha_mroonga.so';
