The package groonga is the mininum 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.
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-server-http at first, then if you want to use more fullfilling functionality, use groonga-httpd package. If you have performance issues which is derived from protocol overheads, consider to use groonga-server-gqtp.
Note
There is a conflict between groonga-httpd and groonga-server-http package because of port number. See Comparison if you want to know which package meets your demands.
groonga-httpd is a nginx and HTTP protocol based server package.
