Release 12.0.0 - 2022-02-09¶
This is a major version up! But It keeps backward compatibility. We can upgrade to 12.0.0 without rebuilding database.
First of all, we introduce the Summary of changes from Groonga 11.0.0 to 11.1.3. Then, we introduce the main changes in 12.0.0.
Summary of changes from Groonga 11.0.0 to 11.1.3¶
New Features and Improvements¶
[snippet] Added support for using the keyword of 32 or more.
We could not specify the keyword of 32 or more with snippet until now. However, we can specify the keyword of 32 or more by this improvement.
We don’t specify the keyword of 32 or more with snippet in normal use. However, if the keyword increments automatically by using such as
query_expand, the number of target keywords may be 32 or more.In this case, Groonga occurs an error until now. However, Groonga doesn’t occur an error by this improvement.
See release 11.1.3 for details.
[NormalizerNFKC130] Added a new option
remove_symbol.This option removes symbols (e.g. #, !, “, &, %, …) from the string that the target of normalizing. For example, this option useful when we prevent orthographical variants such as a title of song and name of artist, and a name of store.
See release 11.1.3 for details.
[load] Added support for ISO 8601 time format.
ISO 8601 format is the format generally. Therefore
loadbecomes easy to use by Groonga support the more standard format.See release 11.1.0 for details.
[snippet] Added a new option
delimiter_regexpfor detecting snippet delimiter with regular expression.This feature is useful in that we want to show by the sentence the result of the search.
snippet extracts text around search keywords. We call the text that is extracted by snippet snippet.
Normally, snippet () returns the text of 200 bytes around search keywords. However, snippet () gives no thought to a delimiter of sentences. The snippet may be composed of multi sentences.
delimiter_regexpoption is useful if we want to only extract the text of the same sentence as search keywords. For example, we can use\.\s*to extract only text in the target sentence. Note that you need to escape\in string.See release 11.0.9 for details.
[cache_limit] Groonga remove query cache when we execute
cache_limit 0.Groonga stores query cache to internally table. The maximum total size of keys of this table is 4GiB. Because this table is hash table. Therefore, If we execute many huge queries, Groonga may be unable to store query cache, because the maximum total size of keys may be over 4GiB. In such cases, We can clear the table for query cache by using
cache_limit 0, and Groonga can store query cacheWe needed to restart Groonga to resolve this problem until now. However, We can resolve this problem if we just execute
cache_limit 0by this improvement.See release 11.0.6 for details.
[between] Added support for optimizing the order of evaluation of a conditional expression.
We can use the optimization of the order of evaluation of a conditional expression in
between()by settingGRN_EXPR_OPTIMIZE=yes. This optimization is effective with respect ifbetween()narrow down records enough orbetween()can’t narrow down few records.[Log] Added support for outputting to stdout and stderr.
This feature is useful when we execute Groonga on Docker. Docker has the feature that records stdout and stderr in standard. Therefore, we don’t need to login into the environment of Docker to get Groonga’s log.
See release 11.0.4 for details.
[query] Added support for ignoring
TokenFilterStemandTokenFilterStopWordby the query.We are able to search without
TokenFilterStemandTokenFilterStopWordin only a specific query.This feature is useful when we want to search for the same words exactly as a search keyword. Normally, Groonga gets better results with enable stemming and stopwords excepting. However, if we want to search words the same as a keyword of search exactly, These features are needless.
Until now, If we want to search words the same as a keyword of search exactly, We needed to make the index of the exclusive use. By this improvement, we can search words the same as a keyword of search exactly without making the index of the exclusive use.
See release 11.0.3 for details.
[string_slice] Added a new function
string_slice().string_slice()extracts a substring of a string of search results by position or regular expression. This function is useful if we want to edit search results.For example, this feature is useful in that we exclude tags from search results.
[query_parallel_or] Added a new function for processing queries in parallel.
query_parallel_oris similar to query butquery_parallel_orprocesses query that has multiple OR conditions in parallel. We can increase in speed of the execution of many OR conditions by using this function.However,
query_parallel_oralone uses multiple CPUs. Therefore, queries that are executing at the same time as the query that executesquery_parallel_ormay be slow.[Token filters] Added support for multiple token filters with options.
We can use multiple token filters with options as the following example.
--token_filters 'TokenFilterStopWord("column", "ignore"), TokenFilterNFKC130("unify_kana", true)'
[select] Added support for
--post_filterand--slices[].post_filter.We can filter again after we execute
--filterby using--post_filterand--slices[].post_filter. The difference between--post_filterand--slices[].post_filteris response format.The response format of
--post_filtersame as the response of--filter. The response format of--slices[].post_filtershow the result of before and after--slices[].post_filterexecuted.Note that if we use
--slices[].post_filter, the format of the response is different from the normalselect‘s response.
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that the version up of Groonga failed Because the version up of arrow-libs on which Groonga depends.
However, if arrow-libs update a major version, this problem reproduces. In this case, we will handle that by rebuilding the Groonga package.
This bug only occurs AlmaLinux 8 and CentOS 7.
[Windows] Fixed a resource leak when Groonga fail open a new file caused by out of memory.
Fixed a bug that Groonga may not have returned a result of a search query if we sent many search queries when tokenizer, normalizer, or token_filters that support options were used.
Fixed a bug that there is possible that index is corrupt when Groonga executes many additions, delete, and update information in it.
This bug occurs when we only execute many delete information from index. However, it doesn’t occur when we only execute many additions information into index.
See release 11.0.0 for details.
Newly supported OSes¶
[AlmaLinux] Added support for AlmaLinux 8.
[AlmaLinux] Added support for AlmaLinux 8 for ARM64.
[Debian GNU/Linux] Added support for Debian 11 (Bullseye).
[Debian GNU/Linux] Added support for Debian 11 (Bullseye) for ARM64 and Debian 10 (buster) for ARM64.
[Ubuntu] Added support for Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri).
Dropped support OSes¶
[CentOS] Dropped support for CentOS 8.

The main changes in 12.0.0 are as follows.
Improvements¶
[sub_filter] Added a new option
pre_filter_threshold.We can change the value of
GRN_SUB_FILTER_PRE_FILTER_THRESHOLDby this option. If the number of records is less thanGRN_SUB_FILTER_PRE_FILTER_THRESHOLDwhen Groonga executessub_filter, Groonga executesub_filteragainst records that have been already narrowed down.We can use -1 to always use this optimization.
[index_column_have_source_record] Added a new function
index_column_have_source_record().We can confirm whether a token that is existing in the index is included in any of the records that are registered in Groonga or not.
Groonga does not remove a token even if the token become never used from records in Groonga by updating records. Therefore, for example, when we use the feature of autocomplete, Groonga may return a token that is not included in any of the records as candidates for search words. However, we can become that we don’t return the needless token by using this function.
Because this function can detect a token that is not included in any of the records.
[NormalizerNFKC130] Added a new option
stripThis option removes spaces from the start and the end as below.
normalize \ 'NormalizerNFKC121("strip", true, \ "report_source_offset", true)' \ " hello world\t! \t " \ WITH_CHECKS|WITH_TYPES [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], { "normalized": "hello world!", "types": [ "alpha", "alpha", "alpha", "alpha", "alpha", "others", "alpha", "alpha", "alpha", "alpha", "alpha|blank", "symbol|blank" ], "checks": [ 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 ], "offsets": [ 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 ] } ]
[select] Added new arguments
drilldown_max_n_target_recordsanddrilldown[${LABEL}].max_n_target_records.We can specify the max number of records of the drilldown target table (filtered result) to use drilldown. If the number of filtered result is larger than the specified value, some records in filtered result aren’t used for drilldown. The default value of this arguments are
-1. If these arguments are set-1, Groonga uses all records for drilldown.This argument is useful when filtered result may be very large. Because a drilldown against large filtered result may be slow. We can limit the max number of records to be used for drilldown by this feature.
Here is an example to limit the max number of records to be used for drilldown. The last 2 records,
{\"_id\": 4, \"tag\": \"Senna\"}and{\"_id\": 5, \"tag\": \"Senna\"}, aren’t used.table_create Entries TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Entries content COLUMN_SCALAR Text column_create Entries n_likes COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 column_create Entries tag COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText --default_tokenizer TokenBigram --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Terms entries_key_index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Entries _key column_create Terms entries_content_index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Entries content load --table Entries [ {"_key": "The first post!", "content": "Welcome!

Release 11.1.1 - 2021-12-29¶
Improvements¶
[select] Added support for near phrase product search.
This feature is a shortcut of
'*NP"..." OR *NP"..." OR ...'. For example, we can use*NPPinstead of the expression that execute mulitiple*NPwithqueryas below.query ("title * 10 || content", "*NP"a 1 x" OR *NP"a 1 y" OR *NP"a 1 z" OR *NP"a 2 x" OR *NP"a 2 y" OR *NP"a 2 z" OR *NP"a 3 x" OR *NP"a 3 y" OR *NP"a 3 z" OR *NP"b 1 x" OR *NP"b 1 y" OR *NP"b 1 z" OR *NP"b 2 x" OR *NP"b 2 y" OR *NP"b 2 z" OR *NP"b 3 x" OR *NP"b 3 y" OR *NP"b 3 z"")
We can be written as
*NPP"(a b) (1 2 3) (x y z)"the above expression by this feature. In addition,*NPP"(a b) (1 2 3) (x y z)"is faster than'*NP"..." OR *NP"..." OR ...'.query ("title * 10 || content", "*NPP"(a b) (1 2 3) (x y z)"")
We implements this feature for improving performance near phrase search like
'*NP"..." OR *NP"..." OR ...'.[select] Added support for order near phrase product search.
This feature is a shortcut of
'*ONP"..." OR *ONP"..." OR ...'. For example, we can use*ONPPinstead of the expression that execute multiple*ONPwithqueryas below.query ("title * 10 || content", "*ONP"a 1 x" OR *ONP"a 1 y" OR *ONP"a 1 z" OR *ONP"a 2 x" OR *ONP"a 2 y" OR *ONP"a 2 z" OR *ONP"a 3 x" OR *ONP"a 3 y" OR *ONP"a 3 z" OR *ONP"b 1 x" OR *ONP"b 1 y" OR *ONP"b 1 z" OR *ONP"b 2 x" OR *ONP"b 2 y" OR *ONP"b 2 z" OR *ONP"b 3 x" OR *ONP"b 3 y" OR *ONP"b 3 z"")
We can be written as
*ONPP"(a b) (1 2 3) (x y z)"the above expression by this feature. In addition,*ONPP"(a b) (1 2 3) (x y z)"is faster than'*ONP"..." OR *ONP"..." OR ...'.query ("title * 10 || content", "*ONPP"(a b) (1 2 3) (x y z)"")
We implements this feature for improving performance near phrase search like
'*ONP"..." OR *ONP"..." OR ...'.[request_cancel] Groonga became easily detects
request_cancelwhile executing a search.Because we added more checks of return code to detect
request_cancel.[thread_dump] Added a new command
thread_dumpCurrently, this command works only on Windows.
We can put a backtrace of all threads into a log as logs of NOTICE level at the time of running this command.
This feature is useful when we solve a problem such as Groonga doesn’t return a response.
[CentOS] Dropped support for CentOS 8.
Because CentOS 8 will reach EOL at 2021-12-31.
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that we can’t remove a index column with invalid parameter. [GitHub#1301][Patched by Takashi Hashida]
For example, we can’t remove a table when we create an invalid index column with
column_createas below.table_create Statuses TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Statuses start_time COLUMN_SCALAR UInt16 column_create Statuses end_time COLUMN_SCALAR UInt16 table_create Times TABLE_PAT_KEY UInt16 column_create Times statuses COLUMN_INDEX Statuses start_time,end_time [ [ -22, 1639037503.16114, 0.003981828689575195, "grn_obj_set_info(): GRN_INFO_SOURCE: multi column index must be created with WITH_SECTION flag: <Times.statuses>", [ [ "grn_obj_set_info_source_validate", "../../groonga/lib/db.c", 9605 ], [ "/tmp/d.grn", 6, "column_create Times statuses COLUMN_INDEX Statuses start_time,end_time" ] ] ], false ] table_remove Times [ [ -22, 1639037503.16515, 0.0005414485931396484, "[object][remove] column is broken: <Times.statuses>", [ [ "remove_columns", "../../groonga/lib/db.c", 10649 ], [ "/tmp/d.grn", 8, "table_remove Times" ] ] ], false ]

Release 11.1.0 - 2021-11-29¶
Improvements¶
[load] Added support for ISO 8601 time format.[GitHub#1228][Patched by Takashi Hashida]
loadsupport the following format by this modification.YYYY-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.sZ
YYYY-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.s+10:00
YYYY-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.s-10:00

Release 11.0.9 - 2021-11-04¶
Improvements¶
[snippet] Added a new option
delimiter_regexpfor detecting snippet delimiter with regular expression.snippet extracts text around search keywords. We call the text that is extracted by snippet snippet.
Normally, snippet () returns the text of 200 bytes around search keywords. However, snippet () gives no thought to a delimiter of sentences. The snippet may be composed of multi sentences.
delimiter_regexpoption is useful if we want to only extract the text of the same sentence as search keywords. For example, we can use\.\s*to extract only text in the target sentence as below. Note that you need to escape\in string.table_create Documents TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Documents content COLUMN_SCALAR Text table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText --default_tokenizer TokenBigram --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Terms documents_content_index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Documents content load --table Documents [ ["content"], ["Groonga is a fast and accurate full text search engine based on inverted index.

[window_rank] Added a new function
window_rank().We can calculate a rank that includes a gap of each record. Normally, the rank isn’t incremented when multiple records that are the same order. For example, if values of sort keys are 100, 100, 200 then the ranks of them are 1, 1, 3. The rank of the last record is 3 not 2 because there are two 1 rank records.
This is similar to window_record_number. However, window_record_number gives no thought to gap.

[in_values] Added support for auto cast when we search tables.
For example, if we load values of
UInt32into a table that a key type isUInt64, Groonga cast the values toUInt64automatically when we search the table within_values(). However,in_values(_key, 10)doesn’t work withUInt64key table. Because 10 is parsed asInt32.table_create Numbers TABLE_HASH_KEY UInt64 load --table Numbers [ {"_key": 100}, {"_key": 200}, {"_key": 300} ] select Numbers --output_columns _key --filter 'in_values(_key, 200, 100)' --sortby _id [[0,0.0,0.0],[[[2],[["_key","UInt64"]],[100],[200]]]]
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.21.3.
[AlmaLinux] Added support for AlmaLinux 8.
[Ubuntu] Added support for Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri).
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that Groonga doesn’t return a response when an error occurred in command (e.g. sytax error in filter).
This bug only occurs when we use
--output_type apache-arrow.
Known Issues¶
Currently, Groonga has a bug that there is possible that data is corrupt when we execute many additions, delete, and update data to vector column.

Release 11.0.7 - 2021-09-29¶
Improvements¶
[load] Added support for casting a string like as “[int, int,…]” to a vector of integer like as [int, int,…].
For example, Groonga handle as a vector of integer like as [1, -2] even if we load vector of string like as “[1, -2]” as below.
table_create Data TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Data numbers COLUMN_VECTOR Int16 table_create Numbers TABLE_PAT_KEY Int16 column_create Numbers data_numbers COLUMN_INDEX Data numbers load --table Data [ {"numbers": "[1, -2]"}, {"numbers": "[-3, 4]"} ] dump --dump_plugins no --dump_schema no load --table Data [ ["_id","numbers"], [1,[1,-2]], [2,[-3,4]] ] column_create Numbers data_numbers COLUMN_INDEX Data numbers select Data --filter 'numbers @ -2' [[0,0.0,0.0],[[[1],[["_id","UInt32"],["numbers","Int16"]],[1,[1,-2]]]]]
This feature supports for the floowings types.
Int8
UInt8
Int16
UInt16
Int32
UInt32
Int64
UInt64
[load] Added support for loading a JSON array expressed as a text string as a vector of string.
For example, Groonga handle as a vector that has two elements like as [“hello”, “world”] if we load JSON array expressed as a text string like as “["hello", "world"]” as below.

In before version, Groonga handled as a vector that had one element like as [“["hello", "world"]”] if we loaded JSON array expressed as a text string like as “["hello", "world"]”.
[Documentation] Added a documentation about the following items.
[column_create] Added a documentation about
WEIGHT_FLOAT32flag.[NormalizerNFKC121] Added a documentation about
NormalizerNFKC121.[NormalizerNFKC130] Added a documentation about
NormalizerNFKC130.[NormalizerTable] Added a documentation about
NormalizerTable.
Updated to 3.0.0 that the version of Apache Arrow that Groonga requires. [GitHub#1265][Patched by Takashi Hashida]
Fixes¶
Fixed a memory leak when we created a table with a tokenizer with invalid option.
Fixed a bug that may not add a new entry in Hash table.
This bug only occurs in Groonga 11.0.6, and it may occur if we quite a lot of add and delete data. If this bug occurs in your environment, you can resolve this problem by executing the following steps.
We upgrade Groonga to 11.0.7 or later from 11.0.6.
We make a new table that has the same schema as the original table.
We copy data to the new table from the original table.
[Windows] Fixed a resource leak when Groonga fail open a new file caused by out of memory.
Known Issues¶
Currently, Groonga has a bug that there is possible that data is corrupt when we execute many additions, delete, and update data to vector column.

Release 11.0.6 - 2021-08-29¶
Warning
Groonga 11.0.6 has had a bug that may not add a new entry in Hash table.
We fixed this bug on Groonga 11.0.7. This bug only occurs in Groonga 11.0.6. Therefore, if you were using Groonga 11.0.6, we highly recommended that you use Groonga 11.0.7 or later.
Improvements¶
Added support for recovering on crash. (experimental)
This is a experimental feature. Currently, this feature is still not stable.
If Groonga crashes, it recovers the database automatically when it opens a database for the first time since the crash. However, This feature can’t recover the database automatically in all crash cases. We need to recover the database manually depending on timing even if this feature enables.
Groonga execute WAL (write ahead log) when this feature is enable. We can dump WAL by the following tools, but currently, users doesn’t need to use them.
[grndb]
dump-walcommand.dump-wal.rbscritp.
[cache_limit] Groonga remove cache when we execute
cache_limit 0. [GitHub#1224][Reported by higchi]Groonga stores query cache to internally table. The maximum total size of keys of this table is 4GiB. Because this table is hash table. Therefore, If we execute many huge queries, Groonga may be unable to store query cache, because the maximum total size of keys may be over 4GiB. In such cases, We can clear the table for query cache by using
cache_limit 0, and Groonga can store query cache
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that Groonga doesn’t clear lock when some threads open the same object around the same time.
If some threads open the same object around the same time, threads except for a thread that executes the opening object at first are waiting for opening the target object. At this time, threads that wait for an opening object take locks, but these locks are not released. Therefore, these locks remain until Groonga’s process is restarted in the above case, and a new thread can’t also open the object all the time until Groonga’s process is restarted.
However, this bug rarely happens. Because a time of a thread open the object is a very short time.
[query_parallel_or] Fixed a bug that result may be different from the
query().For example, If we used
query("tags || tags2", "beginner man"), the following record was a match, but if we usedquery_parallel_or("tags || tags2", "beginner man"), the following record wasn’t a match until now.{"_key": "Bob", "comment": "Hey!", "tags": ["expert", "man"], "tags2": ["beginner"]}
Even if we use
query_parallel_or("tags || tags2", "beginner man"), the above record is match by this modification.
Known Issues¶
Currently, Groonga has a bug that there is possible that data is corrupt when we execute many additions, delete, and update data to vector column.
[The browser based administration tool] Currently, Groonga has a bug that a search query that is inputted to non-administration mode is sent even if we input checks to the checkbox for the administration mode of a record list.

Release 11.0.5 - 2021-07-29¶
Improvements¶
[Normalizers] Added support for multiple normalizers.
We can specify multiple normalizers by
--notmalizersoption when we create a table since this release. If we can also specify them by--normalizerexisting option because of compatibility.We added
NormalizerTablefor customizing a normalizer in Groonga 11.0.4. We can more flexibly behavior of the normalizer by combiningNormalizerTablewith existing normalizer.For example, this feature is useful in the following case.
Search for a telephone number. However, we import data handwritten by OCR. If data is handwritten, OCR may misunderstand a number and string(e.g. 5 and S).
The details are as follows.
table_create Normalizations TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText column_create Normalizations normalized COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText load --table Normalizations [ {"_key": "s", "normalized": "5"} ] table_create Tels TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Tels tel COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create TelsIndex TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --normalizers 'NormalizerNFKC130("unify_hyphen_and_prolonged_sound_mark", true), \ NormalizerTable("column", "Normalizations.normalized")' \ --default_tokenizer 'TokenNgram("loose_symbol", true, "loose_blank", true)' column_create TelsIndex tel_index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_SECTION Tels tel load --table Tels [ {"tel": "03-4S-1234"} {"tel": "03-45-9876"} ] select --table Tels \ --filter 'tel @ "03-45-1234"' [ [ 0, 1625227424.560146, 0.0001730918884277344 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "tel", "ShortText" ] ], [ 1, "03-4S-1234" ] ] ] ]
Existing normalizers can’t meet in such case, but we can meet it by combining
NormalizerTablewith existing normalizer since this release.[query_parallel_or][query] Added support for customizing thresholds for sequential search.
We can customize thresholds in each queries whether to use sequential search by the following options.
{"max_n_enough_filtered_records": xx}max_n_enough_filtered_recordsspecify the number of records.queryorquery_parallel_oruse sequential search when they seems to narrow down until under this number.{"enough_filtered_ratio": x.x}enough_filtered_ratiospecify percentage of total.queryorquery_parallel_oruse sequential search when they seems to narrow down until under this percentage. For example, if we specify{"enough_filtered_ratio": 0.5},queryorquery_parallel_oruse sequential search when they seems to narrow down until half of the whole.
The details are as follows.

[between][in_values] Added support for customizing thresholds for sequential search.
[between] and [in_values] have a feature that they switch to sequential search when the target of search records is narrowed down enough.
The value of
GRN_IN_VALUES_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO/GRN_BETWEEN_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIOis used as threshold whether Groonga execute sequential search or search with indexes in such a case.This behavior is customized by only the following environment variable until now.
in_values():# Don't use auto sequential search GRN_IN_VALUES_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO=-1 # Set threshold to 0.02 GRN_IN_VALUES_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO=0.02
between():# Don't use auto sequential search GRN_BETWEEN_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO=-1 # Set threshold to 0.02 GRN_BETWEEN_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO=0.02
if customize by the environment variable, this threshold applies to all queries, but we can specify it in each query by using this feature.

Release 11.0.4 - 2021-06-29¶
Improvements¶
[Normalizer] Added support for customized normalizer.
We define a table for normalize to use this feature. We can normalize with use that table. In other words, we can use customized normalizer.
For example, we define that “S” normalize to “5” in the following example. The
Substitutionstable is for nromalize.table_create Substitutions TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText column_create Substitutions substituted COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText load --table Substitutions [ {"_key": "S", "substituted": "5"} ] table_create TelLists TABLE_NO_KEY column_create TelLists tel COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenNgram \ --normalizer 'NormalizerTable("column", "Substitutions.substituted", \ "report_source_offset", true)' column_create Terms tel_index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION TelLists tel load --table TelLists [ {"tel": "03-4S-1234"} ] select TelLists --filter 'tel @ "03-45-1234"' [ [ 0, 1624686303.538532, 0.001319169998168945 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "tel", "ShortText" ] ], [ 1, "03-4S-1234" ] ] ] ]
For example, we can define to the table easy to false recognize words when we input a handwritten data. By this, we can normalize incorrect data to correct data.
Note that we need to reconstruct the index if we updated the table for normalize.
Added a new command
object_warm.This commnad ship Groonga’s DB to OS’s page cache.
If we never startup Groonga after OS startup, Groonga’s DB doesn’t exist on OS’s page cache When Groonga on the first run. Therefore, the first operation to Groonga is slow.
If we execute this command in advance, the first operation to Groonga is fast. In Linux, we can do the same by also executing
cat *.db > dev/null. However, we could not do the same thing in Windows until now.By using this command, we can ship Groonga’s DB to OS’s page cache in both Linux and Windows. Then, we can also do that in units of table, column, and index. Therefore, we can ship only table, column, and index that we often use to OS’s page cache.
We can execute this command against various targets as below.
If we specify
object_warm --name index_name, the index is shipped to OS’s page cache.If we specify
object_warm --name column_name, the column is shipped to OS’s page cache.If we specify
object_warm --name table_nameis shipped to OS’s page cache.If we specify
object_warm, whole Groonga’s database is shipped to OS’s page cache.
However, note that if OS has not empty space on memory, this command has no effect.
[select] Added support for adjusting the score of a specific record in
--filter.We can adjust the score of a specific record by using a oprtator named
*~.*~is logical operator same as&&and||. Therefore, we can use*~like as&&ans||. Default weight of*~is -1.Therefore, for example,
'content @ "Groonga" *~ content @ "Mroonga"'mean the following operations.Extract records that match
'content @ "Groonga"andcontent @ "Mroonga"'.Add a score as below.
Calculate the score of
'content @ "Groonga".Calculate the score of
'content @ "Mroonga"'.b’s score multiplied by -1 by
*~.The socre of this record is a + b Therefore, if a’s socre is 1 and b’s score is 1, the score of this record is 1 + (1 * -1) = 0.
Then, we can specify score quantity by
*~${score_quantity}.In particular, the following query adjust the score of match records by the following condition(
'content @ "Groonga" *~2.5 content @ "Mroonga")').table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigram \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Terms index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Memos content load --table Memos [ {"content": "Groonga is a full text search engine."}, {"content": "Rroonga is the Ruby bindings of Groonga."}, {"content": "Mroonga is a MySQL storage engine based of Groonga."} ] select Memos \ --command_version 3 \ --filter 'content @ "Groonga" *~2.5 content @ "Mroonga"' \ --output_columns 'content, _score' \ --sort_keys -_score,_id { "header": { "return_code": 0, "start_time": 1624605205.641078, "elapsed_time": 0.002965450286865234 }, "body": { "n_hits": 3, "columns": [ { "name": "content", "type": "ShortText" }, { "name": "_score", "type": "Float" } ], "records": [ [ "Groonga is a full text search engine.", 1.0 ], [ "Rroonga is the Ruby bindings of Groonga.", 1.0 ], [ "Mroonga is a MySQL storage engine based of Groonga.", -1.5 ] ] } }
We can do the same by also useing adjuster . If we use adjuster , we need to make
--filtercondition and--adjusterconditon on our application, but we make only--filtercondition on it by this improvement.We can also describe filter condition as below by using
query().--filter 'content @ "Groonga" *~2.5 content @ "Mroonga"'
[select] Added support for
&&with weight.We can use
&&with weight by using*<or*>. Default weight of*<is 0.5. Default weight of*>is 2.0.We can specify score quantity by
*<${score_quantity}and*>${score_quantity}. Then, if we specify*<${score_quantity}, a plus or minus sign of${score_quantity}is reverse.For example,
'content @ "Groonga" *<2.5 query("content", "MySQL")'is as below.Extract records that match
'content @ "Groonga"andcontent @ "Mroonga"'.Add a score as below.
Calculate the score of
'content @ "Groonga".Calculate the score of
query("content", "MySQL").b’s score multiplied by -2.5 by
*<.The socre of this record is a + b Therefore, if a’s socre is 1 and b’s score is 1, the score of this record is 1 + (1 * -2.5) = -1.5.
In particular, the following query adjust the score of match records by the following condition(
'content @ "Groonga" *<2.5 query("content", "Mroonga")').table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigram \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Terms index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Memos content load --table Memos [ {"content": "Groonga is a full text search engine."}, {"content": "Rroonga is the Ruby bindings of Groonga."}, {"content": "Mroonga is a MySQL storage engine based of Groonga."} ] select Memos \ --command_version 3 \ --filter 'content @ "Groonga" *<2.5 query("content", "Mroonga")' \ --output_columns 'content, _score' \ --sort_keys -_score,_id { "header": { "return_code": 0, "start_time": 1624605205.641078, "elapsed_time": 0.002965450286865234 }, "body": { "n_hits": 3, "columns": [ { "name": "content", "type": "ShortText" }, { "name": "_score", "type": "Float" } ], "records": [ [ "Groonga is a full text search engine.", 1.0 ], [ "Rroonga is the Ruby bindings of Groonga.", 1.0 ], [ "Mroonga is a MySQL storage engine based of Groonga.", -1.5 ] ] } }
[Log] Added support for outputting to stdout and stderr.
[Process log] and [Query log] supported output to stdout and stderr.
If we specify as
--log-path -,--query-log-path -, Groonga output log to stdout.If we specify as
--log-path +,--query-log-path +, Groonga output log to stderr.
[Process log] is for all of Groonga works. [Query log] is just for query processing.
This feature is useful when we execute Groonga on Docker. Docker has the feature that records stdout and stderr in standard. Therefore, we don’t need to login into the environment of Docker to get Groonga’s log.
For example, this feature is useful as he following case.
If we want to analyze slow queries of Groonga on Docker.
If we specify
--query-log-path -when startup Groonga, we can analyze slow queries by only execution the following commands.docker logs ${container_name} | groonga-query-log-analyze
By this, we can analyze slow query with the query log that output from Groonga on Docker simply.
[Documentation] Filled missing documentation of
string_substring. [GitHub#1209][Patched by Takashi Hashida]

Release 11.0.3 - 2021-05-29¶
Improvements¶
[query] Added support for ignoring
TokenFilterStemby the query.TokenFilterStemcan search by using a stem. For example, all ofdevelop,developing,developedanddevelopstokens are stemmed asdevelop. So we can finddevelop,developinganddevelopedbydevelopsquery.In this release, we are able to search without
TokenFilterStemin only a specific query as below.plugin_register token_filters/stem table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigram \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto \ --token_filters 'TokenFilterStem("keep_original", true)' column_create Terms memos_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Memos content load --table Memos [ {"content": "I develop Groonga"}, {"content": "I'm developing Groonga"}, {"content": "I developed Groonga"} ] select Memos \ --match_columns content \ --query '"developed groonga"' \ --query_options '{"TokenFilterStem.enable": false}' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "content", "ShortText" ] ], [ 3, "I developed Groonga" ] ] ] ]
This feature is useful when users want to search by a stemmed word generally but users sometimes want to search by a exact (not stemmed) word as below.
If Groonga returns many results when searching by a stemmed word.
If
TokenFilterStemreturns the wrong result of stemming.If we want to find only records that have an exact (not stemmed) word.
[query] Added support for ignoring
TokenFilterStopWordby the query.TokenFilterStopWordsearched without stop word that we registered beforehand. It uses for reducing noise of search by ignoring frequently word (e.g.,and,is, and so on.).However, we sometimes want to search include these words only a specific query. In this release, we are able to search without
TokenFilterStopWordin only a specific query as below.plugin_register token_filters/stop_word table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigram \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto \ --token_filters TokenFilterStopWord column_create Terms memos_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Memos content column_create Terms is_stop_word COLUMN_SCALAR Bool load --table Terms [ {"_key": "and", "is_stop_word": true} ] load --table Memos [ {"content": "Hello"}, {"content": "Hello and Good-bye"}, {"content": "Good-bye"} ] select Memos \ --match_columns content \ --query "Hello and" \ --query_options '{"TokenFilterStopWord.enable": false}' \ --match_escalation_threshold -1 \ --sort_keys -_score [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "content", "ShortText" ] ], [ 2, "Hello and Good-bye" ] ] ] ]
In the above example, we specify
TokenFilterStopWord.enableby using--query-options, but we also specify it by using{"options": {"TokenFilterStopWord.enable": false}}as below.plugin_register token_filters/stop_word table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigram \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto \ --token_filters TokenFilterStopWord column_create Terms memos_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Memos content column_create Terms is_stop_word COLUMN_SCALAR Bool load --table Terms [ {"_key": "and", "is_stop_word": true} ] load --table Memos [ {"content": "Hello"}, {"content": "Hello and Good-bye"}, {"content": "Good-bye"} ] select Memos \ --filter 'query("content", \ "Hello and", \ {"options": {"TokenFilterStopWord.enable": false}})' \ --match_escalation_threshold -1 \ --sort_keys -_score [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "content", "ShortText" ] ], [ 2, "Hello and Good-bye" ] ] ] ]
This feature is useful if that Groonga can’t return results correctly if we don’t search by keywords include commonly used words (e.g., if a search for a song title, a shop name, and so on.).
[Normalizers][NormalizerNFKC] Added a new option
remove_new_line.If we want to normalize the key of a table that stores data, we set a normalizer to it. However, normally, normalizers remove a new line.
Groonga can’t handle a key that is only a new line.
We can register data that is only a new line as key by this option.
[string_slice] Added a new function
string_slice(). [Github#1177][Patched by Takashi Hashida]string_slice()extracts a substring of a string.To enable this function, we need to register
functions/stringplugin.We can use two different extraction methods depending on the arguments as below.
Extraction by position:
plugin_register functions/string table_create Memos TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText load --table Memos [ {"_key": "Groonga"} ] select Memos --output_columns '_key, string_slice(_key, 2, 3)' [ [ 0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "string_slice", null ] ], [ "Groonga", "oon" ] ] ] ]
Extraction by regular expression:
plugin_register functions/string table_create Memos TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText load --table Memos [ {"_key": "Groonga"} ] select Memos --output_columns '_key, string_slice(_key, "(Gro+)(.*)", 2)' [ [p 0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "string_slice", null ] ], [ "Groonga", "nga" ] ] ] ]
[Ubuntu] Dropped support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).
Added EditorConfig for Visual Studio. [GitHub#1191][Patched by Takashi Hashida]
Most settings are for Visual Studio only.
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.20.1.
Contains security fix of CVE-2021-23017.
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that Groonga may not have returned a result of a search query if we sent many search queries when tokenizer, normalizer, or token_filters that support options were used.
Known Issues¶
Currently, Groonga has a bug that there is possible that data is corrupt when we execute many additions, delete, and update data to vector column.
[The browser based administration tool] Currently, Groonga has a bug that a search query that is inputted to non-administration mode is sent even if we input checks to the checkbox for the administration mode of a record list.

post_filterto filter byfilteredstage dynamic columns as below.table_create Items TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Items price COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 load --table Items [ {"price": 100}, {"price": 150}, {"price": 200}, {"price": 250}, {"price": 300} ] select Items \ --filter "price >= 150" \ --columns[price_with_tax].stage filtered \ --columns[price_with_tax].type UInt32 \ --columns[price_with_tax].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --columns[price_with_tax].value "price * 1.1" \ --post_filter "price_with_tax <= 250" [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 2 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "price_with_tax", "UInt32" ], [ "price", "UInt32" ] ], [ 2, 165, 150 ], [ 3, 220, 200 ] ] ] ]
[select] Added support for
--slices[].post_filter.We can use
post_filterto filter by--slices[].filteras below.table_create Items TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Items price COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 load --table Items [ {"price": 100}, {"price": 200}, {"price": 300}, {"price": 1000}, {"price": 2000}, {"price": 3000} ] select Items \ --slices[expensive].filter 'price >= 1000' \ --slices[expensive].post_filter 'price < 3000' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 6 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "price", "UInt32" ] ], [ 1, 100 ], [ 2, 200 ], [ 3, 300 ], [ 4, 1000 ], [ 5, 2000 ], [ 6, 3000 ] ], { "expensive": [ [ 2 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "price", "UInt32" ] ], [ 4, 1000 ], [ 5, 2000 ] ] } ] ]
[select] Added support for describing expression into
--sort_keys.We can describe the expression into
--sort_keys.If nonexistent keys into expression as a
--sort_keys, they are ignored and outputted warns into a log.
By this, for example, we can specify a value of an element of
VECTOR COLUMNto--sort_keys. And we can sort a result with it.We can sort a result with an element of
VECTOR COLUMNeven if the before version by using dynamic column. However, we can sort a result with an element ofVECTOR COLUMNwithout using dynamic column by this feature.table_create Values TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Values numbers COLUMN_VECTOR Int32 load --table Values [ {"numbers": [127, 128, 129]}, {"numbers": [126, 255]}, {"numbers": [128, -254]} ] select Values --sort_keys 'numbers[1]' --output_columns numbers [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 3 ], [ [ "numbers", "Int32" ] ], [ [ 128, -254 ] ], [ [ 127, 128, 129 ] ], [ [ 126, 255 ] ] ] ] ]
[Token filters] Added support for multiple token filters with options.
We can specify multiple token filters with options like
--token_filters 'TokenFilterStopWord("column", "ignore"), TokenFilterNFKC130("unify_kana", true)'. [Github#mroonga/mroonga#399][Reported by MASUDA Kazuhiro]
[query] Added support a dynamic column of
result_setstage with complex expression.Complex expression is that it needs temporary result sets internally like a following expression.
'(true && query("name * 10", "ali", {"score_column": "ali_score"})) || \ (true && query("name * 2", "li", {"score_column": "li_score"}))'
In the above expressions, the temporary result sets are used to store the result of evaluating the
true.Therefore, for example, in the following expression, we can use a value of dynamic column of
result_setstage in expression. Because temporary result sets internally are needless as below expression.'(query("name * 10", "ali", {"score_column": "ali_score"})) || \ (query("name * 2", "li", {"score_column": "li_score"}))'
In this release, for example, we can set a value to
li_scoreas below. (The value ofli_scorehad been0in before version. Because the second expression could not get dynamic column.)table_create Users TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Users name COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Lexicon TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigramSplitSymbolAlphaDigit \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Lexicon users_name COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Users name load --table Users [ {"name": "Alice"}, {"name": "Alisa"}, {"name": "Bob"} ] select Users \ --columns[ali_score].stage result_set \ --columns[ali_score].type Float \ --columns[ali_score].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --columns[li_score].stage result_set \ --columns[li_score].type Float \ --columns[li_score].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --output_columns name,_score,ali_score,li_score \ --filter '(true && query("name * 10", "ali", {"score_column": "ali_score"})) || \ (true && query("name * 2", "li", {"score_column": "li_score"}))' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 2 ], [ [ "name", "ShortText" ], [ "_score", "Int32" ], [ "ali_score", "Float" ], [ "li_score", "Float" ] ], [ "Alice", 14, 10.0, 2.0 ], [ "Alisa", 14, 10.0, 2.0 ] ] ] ]
We also supported a dynamic vector column of
result_setstage as below.table_create Users TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Users name COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Lexicon TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigramSplitSymbolAlphaDigit \ --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Lexicon users_name COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Users name load --table Users [ {"name": "Alice"}, {"name": "Alisa"}, {"name": "Bob"} ] select Users \ --columns[tags].stage result_set \ --columns[tags].type ShortText \ --columns[tags].flags COLUMN_VECTOR \ --output_columns name,tags \ --filter '(true && query("name", "al", {"tags": ["al"], "tags_column": "tags"})) || \ (true && query("name", "sa", {"tags": ["sa"], "tags_column": "tags"}))' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 2 ], [ [ "name", "ShortText" ], [ "tags", "ShortText" ] ], [ "Alice", [ "al" ] ], [ "Alisa", [ "al", "sa" ] ] ] ] ]
If we use a dynamic vector column, the storing values are appended values of each element.
[Ubuntu] Added support for Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo).
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.10.
Known Issues¶
Currently, Groonga has a bug that there is possible that data is corrupt when we execute many additions, delete, and update data to vector column.
[The browser based administration tool] Currently, Groonga has a bug that a search query that is inputted to non-administration mode is sent even if we input checks to the checkbox for the administration mode of a record list. [Github#1186][Reported by poti]

Release 11.0.1 - 2021-03-31¶
Improvements¶
[Debian GNU/Linux] Added support for a ARM64 package.
[select] Added support for customizing adjust weight every key word.
We need to specify
<or>to all keywords to adjust scores until now. Because the default adjustment of weight (6 or 4) is larger than the default score (1).Therefore, for example, “A“‘s weight is 1 and “B“‘s weight is 4 in
A <B. Decremented “B“‘s weight (4) is larger than not decremented “A“‘s weight (1). This is not works as expected. we need to specify>A <Bto use smaller weight than “A” for “B”. “A“‘s weight is 6 and “B“‘s weight is 4 in>A <B.
We can customize adjustment of weight every key word by only specifying
<${WEIGHT}or>${WEIGHT}to target keywords since this release. For example, “A“‘s weight is 1 and “B“‘s weight is 0.9 inA <0.1B(“B“‘s weight decrement 0.1).However, note that these forms (
>${WEIGHT}...,<${WEIGHT}..., and~${WEIGHT}...) are incompatible.
[select] Added support for outputting
FloatandFloat32value in Apache Arrow format.For example, Groonga output as below.
table_create Data TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Data float COLUMN_SCALAR Float load --table Data [ {"float": 1.1} ] select Data \ --command_version 3 \ --output_type apache-arrow return_code: int32 start_time: timestamp[ns] elapsed_time: double -- metadata -- GROONGA:data_type: metadata return_code start_time elapsed_time 0 0 1970-01-01T09:00:00+09:00 0.000000 ======================================== _id: uint32 float: double -- metadata -- GROONGA:n_hits: 1 _id float 0 1 1.100000
[select] Added support for getting a reference destination data via index column when we output a result.
Until now, Groonga had returned involuntary value when we specified output value like
index_column.xxx. For example, A value of--columns[tags].value purchases.tagwas["apple",["many"]],["banana",["man"]],["cacao",["man"]]in the following example. In this case, the expected values was["apple",["man","many"]],["banana",["man"]],["cacao",["woman"]]. In this release, we can get a correct reference destination data via index column as below.table_create Products TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText table_create Purchases TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Purchases product COLUMN_SCALAR Products column_create Purchases tag COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create Products purchases COLUMN_INDEX Purchases product load --table Products [ {"_key": "apple"}, {"_key": "banana"}, {"_key": "cacao"} ] load --table Purchases [ {"product": "apple", "tag": "man"}, {"product": "banana", "tag": "man"}, {"product": "cacao", "tag": "woman"}, {"product": "apple", "tag": "many"} ] select Products \ --columns[tags].stage output \ --columns[tags].flags COLUMN_VECTOR \ --columns[tags].type ShortText \ --columns[tags].value purchases.tag \ --output_columns _key,tags [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 3 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "tags", "ShortText" ] ], [ "apple", [ "man", "many" ] ], [ "banana", [ "man" ] ], [ "cacao", [ "woman" ] ] ] ] ]
[select] Added support for specifying index column directly as a part of nested index.
We can search source table after filtering by using
index_column.except_source_column. For example, we specifycomments.contentwhen searching in the following example. In this case, at first, this query execute full text search fromcontentcolumn ofCommenttstable, then fetch the records of Articles table which refers to already searched records of Comments table.table_create Articles TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText table_create Comments TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Comments article COLUMN_SCALAR Articles column_create Comments content COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create Articles content COLUMN_SCALAR Text column_create Articles comments COLUMN_INDEX Comments article table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer TokenBigram \ --normalizer NormalizerNFKC130 column_create Terms articles_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION \ Articles content column_create Terms comments_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION \ Comments content load --table Articles [ {"_key": "article-1", "content": "Groonga is fast!"}, {"_key": "article-2", "content": "Groonga is useful!"}, {"_key": "article-3", "content": "Mroonga is fast!"} ] load --table Comments [ {"article": "article-1", "content": "I'm using Groonga too!"}, {"article": "article-3", "content": "I'm using Mroonga!"}, {"article": "article-1", "content": "I'm using PGroonga!"} ] select Articles --match_columns comments.content --query groonga \ --output_columns "_key, _score, comments.content [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "_score", "Int32" ], [ "comments.content", "ShortText" ] ], [ "article-1", 1, [ "I'm using Groonga too!", "I'm using PGroonga!" ] ] ] ] ]
[load] Added support for loading reference vector with inline object literal.
For example, we can load data like
"key" : "[ { "key" : "value", ..., "key" : "value" } ]"as below.table_create Purchases TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Purchases item COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create Purchases price COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 table_create Settlements TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Settlements purchases COLUMN_VECTOR Purchases column_create Purchases settlements_purchases COLUMN_INDEX Settlements purchases load --table Settlements [ { "_key": "super market", "purchases": [ {"item": "apple", "price": 100}, {"item": "milk", "price": 200} ] }, { "_key": "shoes shop", "purchases": [ {"item": "sneakers", "price": 3000} ] } ]
It makes easier to add JSON data into reference columns by this feature.
Currently, this feature only support with JSON input.
[load] Added support for loading reference vector from JSON text.
We can load data to reference vector from source table with JSON text as below.
table_create Purchases TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Purchases item COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create Purchases price COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 table_create Settlements TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Settlements purchases COLUMN_VECTOR Purchases column_create Purchases settlements_purchases COLUMN_INDEX Settlements purchases load --table Settlements [ { "_key": "super market", "purchases": "[{\"_key\": \"super market-1\", \"item\": \"apple\", \"price\": 100}, {\"_key\": \"super market-2\", \"item\": \"milk\", \"price\": 200}]" }, { "_key": "shoes shop", "purchases": "[{\"_key\": \"shoes shop-1\", \"item\": \"sneakers\", \"price\": 3000}]" } ] dump \ --dump_plugins no \ --dump_schema no load --table Purchases [ ["_key","item","price"], ["super market-1","apple",100], ["super market-2","milk",200], ["shoes shop-1","sneakers",3000] ] load --table Settlements [ ["_key","purchases"], ["super market",["super market-1","super market-2"]], ["shoes shop",["shoes shop-1"]] ] column_create Purchases settlements_purchases COLUMN_INDEX Settlements purchases
Currently, this feature doesn’t support nested reference record.
[Windows] Added support for UNIX epoch for
time_classify_*functions.Groonga handles timestamps on local time. Therefore, for example, if we input the UNIX epoch in Japan, inputting time is 9 hours behind the UNIX epoch.
The Windows API outputs an error when we input the time before the UNIX epoch.
We can use the UNIX epoch in
time_classify_*functions as below in this release.plugin_register functions/time table_create Timestamps TABLE_PAT_KEY Time load --table Timestamps [ {"_key": 0}, {"_key": "2016-05-06 00:00:00.000001"}, {"_key": "2016-05-06 23:59:59.999999"}, {"_key": "2016-05-07 00:00:00.000000"}, {"_key": "2016-05-07 00:00:00.000001"}, {"_key": "2016-05-08 23:59:59.999999"}, {"_key": "2016-05-08 00:00:00.000000"} ] select Timestamps \ --sortby _id \ --limit -1 \ --output_columns '_key, time_classify_day_of_week(_key)' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 7 ], [ [ "_key", "Time" ], [ "time_classify_day_of_week", null ] ], [ 0.0, 4 ], [ 1462460400.000001, 5 ], [ 1462546799.999999, 5 ], [ 1462546800.0, 6 ], [ 1462546800.000001, 6 ], [ 1462719599.999999, 0 ], [ 1462633200.0, 0 ] ] ] ]
[query_parallel_or] Added a new function for processing queries in parallel.
query_parallel_orrequires Apache Arrow for processing queries in parallel. If it does not enable,query_parallel_orprocesses queries in sequence.query_parallel_orprocesses combination ofmatch_columnsandquery_stringin parallel.Syntax of
query_parallel_oris as follow:query_parallel_or(match_columns, query_string1, query_string2, . . . query_stringN, {"option": "value", ...})
[select] Added support for ignoring nonexistent sort keys.
Groonga had been outputted error when we specified nonexistent sort keys until now. However, Groonga ignore nonexistent sort keys since this release. (Groonga doesn’t output error.)
This feature implements for consistency. Because we just ignore invalid values in
output_columnsand most of invalid values insort_keys.
[select] Added support for ignoring nonexistent tables in
drilldowns[].table. [GitHub#1169][Reported by naoa]Groonga had been outputted error when we specified nonexistent tables in
drilldowns[].tableuntil now. However, Groonga ignore nonexistent tables indrilldowns[].tablesince this release. (Groonga doesn’t output error.)This feature implements for consistency. Because we just ignore invalid values in
output_columnsand most of invalid values insort_keys.
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.8.
Fixes¶
[reference_acquire] Fixed a bug that Groonga crash when a table’s reference is acquired and a column is added to the table before auto release is happened.
Because the added column’s reference isn’t acquired but it’s released on auto release.
[Windows] Fixed a bug that one or more processes fail an output backtrace on SEGV when a new backtrace logging process starts when another backtrace logging process is running in another thread.
Known Issues¶
Currently, Groonga has a bug that there is possible that data is corrupt when we execute many additions, delete, and update data to vector column.

Release 11.0.0 - 2021-02-09¶
This is a major version up! But It keeps backward compatibility. We can upgrade to 11.0.0 without rebuilding database.
Improvements¶
[select] Added support for outputting values of scalar column and vector column via nested index.
The nested index is that has structure as below.
table_create Products TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText table_create Purchases TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Purchases product COLUMN_SCALAR Products column_create Purchases tag COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create Products purchases COLUMN_INDEX Purchases product
The
Products.purchasescolumn is a index ofPurchases.productcolumn in the above example. Also,Purchases.productis a reference toProductstable.We had not got the correct search result when we search via nested index until now.
The result had been as follows until now. We can see that
{"product": "apple", "tag": "man"}is not output.table_create Products TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText table_create Purchases TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Purchases product COLUMN_SCALAR Products column_create Purchases tag COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create Products purchases COLUMN_INDEX Purchases product load --table Products [ {"_key": "apple"}, {"_key": "banana"}, {"_key": "cacao"} ] load --table Purchases [ {"product": "apple", "tag": "man"}, {"product": "banana", "tag": "man"}, {"product": "cacao", "tag": "woman"}, {"product": "apple", "tag": "many"} ] select Products \ --output_columns _key,purchases.tag [ [ 0, 1612504193.380738, 0.0002026557922363281 ], [ [ [ 3 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "purchases.tag", "ShortText" ] ], [ "apple", "many" ], [ "banana", "man" ], [ "cacao", "man" ] ] ] ]
The result will be as follows from this release. We can see that
{"product": "apple", "tag": "man"}is output.select Products \ --output_columns _key,purchases.tag [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 3 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "purchases.tags", "Tags" ] ], [ "apple", [ [ "man", "one" ], [ "child", "many" ] ] ], [ "banana", [ [ "man", "many" ] ] ], [ "cacao", [ [ "woman" ] ] ] ] ] ]
[Windows] Dropped support for packages of Windows version that we had cross compiled by using MinGW on Linux.
Because there aren’t probably many people who use that.
These above packages are that We had provided as below name until now.
groonga-x.x.x-x86.exegroonga-x.x.x-x86.zipgroonga-x.x.x-x64.exegroonga-x.x.x-x86.zip
From now on, we use the following packages for Windows.
groonga-latest-x86-vs2019-with-vcruntime.zipgroonga-latest-x64-vs2019-with-vcruntime.zip
If a system already has installed Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, we suggest that we use the following packages.
groonga-latest-x86-vs2019.zipgroonga-latest-x64-vs2019.zip
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that there is possible that index is corrupt when Groonga executes many additions, delete, and update information in it.
This bug occurs when we only execute many delete information from index. However, it doesn’t occur when we only execute many additions information into index.
We can repair the index that is corrupt by this bug using reconstruction of it.
This bug doesn’t detect unless we reference the broken index. Therefore, the index in our indexes may has already broken.
We can use [index_column_diff] command to confirm whether the index has already been broken or not.
Release 10.1.1 - 2021-01-25¶
Improvements¶
[select] Added support for outputting UInt64 value in Apache Arrow format.
[select] Added support for outputting a number of hits in Apache Arrow format as below.
-- metadata -- GROONGA:n-hits: 10
[query] Added support for optimization of “order by estimated size”.
Normally, we can search at high speed when we first execute a condition which number of hits is a little.
The “B (There are few) && A (There are many)” faster than “A (There are many) && B (There are few)”.
This is a known optimization. However we need reorder conditions by ourselves.
Groonga executes this reorder automatically by using optimization of “order by estimated size”.
This optimization is valid by
GRN_ORDER_BY_ESTIMATED_SIZE_ENABLE=yes.
[between] Improved performance by the following improvements.
Improved the accuracy of a decision whether the
between()use sequential search or not.Improved that we set a result of
between()into a result set in bulk.
[select] Improved performance for a prefix search.
For example, the performance of the following prefix search by using “*” improved.
table_create Memos TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText table_create Contents TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Contents entries_key_index COLUMN_INDEX Memos _key load --table Memos [ {"_key": "(groonga) Start to try!"}, {"_key": "(mroonga) Installed"}, {"_key": "(groonga) Upgraded!"} ] select \ --table Memos \ --match_columns _key \ --query '\\(groonga\\)*'
[Tokenizers][TokenMecab] Improved performance for parallel construction fo token column. [GitHub#1158][Patched by naoa]
Fixes¶
[sub_filter] Fixed a bug that
sub_filterdoesn’t work inslices[].filter.For example, the result of
sub_filterwas 0 records by the following query by this bug.table_create Users TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Users age COLUMN_SCALAR UInt8 table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos user COLUMN_SCALAR Users column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR Text load --table Users [ {"_key": "alice", "age": 9}, {"_key": "bob", "age": 29} ] load --table Memos [ {"user": "alice", "content": "hello"}, {"user": "bob", "content": "world"}, {"user": "alice", "content": "bye"}, {"user": "bob", "content": "yay"} ] select \ --table Memos \ --slices[adult].filter '_id > 1 && sub_filter(user, "age >= 18")'
Fixed a bug that it is possible that we can’t add data and Groonga crash when we repeat much addition of data and deletion of data against a hash table.

Release 10.1.0 - 2020-12-29¶
Improvements¶
[highlight_html] Added support for removing leading full width spaces from highlight target. [PGroonga#GitHub#155][Reported by Hung Nguyen V]
Until now, leading full width spaces had also included in the target of highlight as below.
table_create Entries TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Entries body COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText --default_tokenizer TokenBigram --normalizer NormalizerAuto column_create Terms document_index COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Entries body load --table Entries [ {"body": "Groonga 高速!"} ] select Entries --output_columns \ --match_columns body --query '高速' \ --output_columns 'highlight_html(body)' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 1 ], [ [ "highlight_html", null ] ], [ "Groonga<span class=\"keyword\"> 高速</span>!" ] ] ] ]
However, this is needless as the target of highlight. Therefore, in this release,
highlight_html()removes leading full width spaces.
[status] Added a new item
features.We can display which Groonga’s features are enabled as below.
status --output_pretty yes [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], { "alloc_count": 361, "starttime": 1608087311, "start_time": 1608087311, "uptime": 35, "version": "10.1.0", "n_queries": 0, "cache_hit_rate": 0.0, "command_version": 1, "default_command_version": 1, "max_command_version": 3, "n_jobs": 0, "features": { "nfkc": true, "mecab": true, "message_pack": true, "mruby": true, "onigmo": true, "zlib": true, "lz4": false, "zstandard": false, "kqueue": false, "epoll": true, "poll": false, "rapidjson": false, "apache_arrow": false, "xxhash": false } } ]
[status] Added a new item
apache_arrow.We can display Apache Arrow version that Groonga use as below.
[ [ 0, 1608088628.440753, 0.0006628036499023438 ], { "alloc_count": 360, "starttime": 1608088617, "start_time": 1608088617, "uptime": 11, "version": "10.0.9-39-g5a4c6f3", "n_queries": 0, "cache_hit_rate": 0.0, "command_version": 1, "default_command_version": 1, "max_command_version": 3, "n_jobs": 0, "features": { "nfkc": true, "mecab": true, "message_pack": true, "mruby": true, "onigmo": true, "zlib": true, "lz4": true, "zstandard": false, "kqueue": false, "epoll": true, "poll": false, "rapidjson": false, "apache_arrow": true, "xxhash": false }, "apache_arrow": { "version_major": 2, "version_minor": 0, "version_patch": 0, "version": "2.0.0" } } ]
This item only display when Apache Arrow is valid in Groonga.
[Window function] Added support for processing all tables at once even if target tables straddle a shard. (experimental)
If the target tables straddle a shard, the window function had processed each shard until now.
Therefore, if we used multiple group keys in windows functions, the value of the group keys from the second had to be one kind of value.
However, we can use multiple kind of values for it as below by this improvement.

This feature requires Apache Arrow 3.0.0 that is not released yet.
Added support for sequential search against reference column.
This feature is only used if an index search will match many records and the current result set is enough small.
Because the sequential search is faster than the index search in the above case.
It is invalid by default.
It is valid if we set
GRN_II_SELECT_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO_REFERENCEenvironment variable.GRN_II_SELECT_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO_REFERENCEenvironment variable is a threshold to switch the sequential search from the index search.For example, if we set
GRN_II_SELECT_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO_REFERENCE=0.7as below, if the number of records for the result set less than 70 % of total records, a search is executed by a sequential search.$ export GRN_II_SELECT_TOO_MANY_INDEX_MATCH_RATIO_REFERENCE=0.7 table_create Tags TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText table_create Memos TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Memos tag COLUMN_SCALAR Tags load --table Memos [ {"_key": "Rroonga is fast!", "tag": "Rroonga"}, {"_key": "Groonga is fast!", "tag": "Groonga"}, {"_key": "Mroonga is fast!", "tag": "Mroonga"}, {"_key": "Groonga sticker!", "tag": "Groonga"}, {"_key": "Groonga is good!", "tag": "Groonga"} ] column_create Tags memos_tag COLUMN_INDEX Memos tag select Memos --query '_id:>=3 tag:@Groonga' --output_columns _id,_score,_key,tag [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 2 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "_score", "Int32" ], [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "tag", "Tags" ] ], [ 4, 2, "Groonga sticker!", "Groonga" ], [ 5, 2, "Groonga is good!", "Groonga" ] ] ] ]
[tokenizers] Added support for the token column into
TokenDocumentVectorTFIDFandTokenDocumentVectorBM25.If there is the token column that has the same source as the index column, these tokenizer use the token id of the token column.
The token column has already had data that has already finished tokenize.
Therefore, these tokenizer are improved performance by using a token column.
For example, we can use this feature by making a token column named
content_tokensas below.table_create Memos TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Memos content COLUMN_SCALAR Text load --table Memos [ {"content": "a b c a"}, {"content": "c b c"}, {"content": "b b a"}, {"content": "a c c"}, {"content": "a"} ] table_create Tokens TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --normalizer NormalizerNFKC121 \ --default_tokenizer TokenNgram column_create Tokens memos_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Memos content column_create Memos content_tokens COLUMN_VECTOR Tokens content table_create DocumentVectorBM25 TABLE_HASH_KEY Tokens \ --default_tokenizer \ 'TokenDocumentVectorBM25("index_column", "memos_content", \ "df_column", "df")' column_create DocumentVectorBM25 df COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 column_create Memos content_feature COLUMN_VECTOR|WITH_WEIGHT|WEIGHT_FLOAT32 \ DocumentVectorBM25 content select Memos [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 5 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "content", "Text" ], [ "content_feature", "DocumentVectorBM25" ], [ "content_tokens", "Tokens" ] ], [ 1, "a b c a", { "a": 0.5095787, "b": 0.6084117, "c": 0.6084117 }, [ "a", "b", "c", "a" ] ], [ 2, "c b c", { "c": 0.8342565, "b": 0.5513765 }, [ "c", "b", "c" ] ], [ 3, "b b a", { "b": 0.9430448, "a": 0.3326656 }, [ "b", "b", "a" ] ], [ 4, "a c c", { "a": 0.3326656, "c": 0.9430448 }, [ "a", "c", "c" ] ], [ 5, "a", { "a": 1.0 }, [ "a" ] ] ] ] ]
TokenDocumentVectorTFIDFandTokenDocumentVectorBM25give a weight against each tokens.TokenDocumentVectorTFIDFcalculate a weight for token by using TF-IDF.Please refer to https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/tfidfmodel.html about TF-IDF.
TokenDocumentVectorBM25calculate a weight for token by using Okapi BM25.Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25 about Okapi BM25.
Improved performance when below case.

[Ubuntu] Added support for Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla).
[Debian GNU/Linux] Dropped stretch support.
It reached EOL.
[CentOS] Dropped CentOS 6.
It reached EOL.
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.6.

Release 10.0.9 - 2020-12-01¶
Improvements¶
Improved performance when we specified
-1tolimit.[reference_acquire] Added a new option
--auto_release_count.Groonga reduces a reference count automatically when a request reaching the number of value that is specified in
--auto_release_count.For example, the acquired reference of
Usersis released automatically after the secondstatusis processed as below.reference_acquire --target_name Users --auto_release_count 2 status # Users is still referred. status # Users' reference is released after this command is processed.
We can prevent a leak of the release of acquired reference by this option.
Modify behavior when Groonga evaluated empty
vectoranduvector.Empty
vectoranduvectorare evaluated tofalsein command version 3.This behavior is valid for only command version 3.
Note that the different behavior until now.
[Normalizers] Added a new Normalizer
NormalizerNFKC130based on Unicode NFKC (Normalization Form Compatibility Composition) for Unicode 13.0.[Token filters] Added a new TokenFilter
TokenFilterNFKC130based on Unicode NFKC (Normalization Form Compatibility Composition) for Unicode 13.0.[select] Improved performance for
"_score = column - X".[reference_acquire] Improved that
--reference_acquiredoesn’t get unnecessary reference of index column when we specify the--recursive dependentoption.From this release, the targets of
--recursive dependentare only the target table’s key and the index column that is set to data column.
[select] Add support for ordered near phrase search.
Until now, the near phrase search have only looked for records that the distance of between specified phrases near.
This feature look for satisfy the following conditions records.
If the distance of between specified phrases is near.
If the specified phrases are in line with specified order.
This feature use
*ONPas an operator. (Note that the operator isn’t*NP.)$is handled as itself in the query syntax. Note that it isn’t a special character in the query syntax.If we use script syntax, this feature use as below.
table_create Entries TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Entries content COLUMN_SCALAR Text table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer 'TokenNgram("unify_alphabet", false, \ "unify_digit", false)' \ --normalizer NormalizerNFKC121 column_create Terms entries_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Entries content load --table Entries [ {"content": "abcXYZdef"}, {"content": "abebcdXYZdef"}, {"content": "abcdef"}, {"content": "defXYZabc"}, {"content": "XYZabc"}, {"content": "abc123456789def"}, {"content": "abc12345678def"}, {"content": "abc1de2def"} ] select Entries --filter 'content *ONP "abc def"' --output_columns '_score, content' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 4 ], [ [ "_score", "Int32" ], [ "content", "Text" ] ], [ 1, "abcXYZdef" ], [ 1, "abcdef" ], [ 1, "abc12345678def" ], [ 1, "abc1de2def" ] ] ] ]
If we use query syntax, this feature use as below.
select Entries --query 'content:*ONP "abc def"' --output_columns '_score, content' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 4 ], [ [ "_score", "Int32" ], [ "content", "Text" ] ], [ 1, "abcXYZdef" ], [ 1, "abcdef" ], [ 1, "abc12345678def" ], [ 1, "abc1de2def" ] ] ] ]
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.5.
Fixes¶
[Groonga HTTP server] Fixed that Groonga HTTP server finished without waiting all woker threads finished completely.
Until now, Groonga HTTP server had started the process of finish after worker threads finished itself process. However, worker threads may not finish completely at this timing. Therefore, Groonga HTTP server may crashed according to timing. Because Groonga HTTP server may free area of memory that worker threads are using them yet.
Release 10.0.8 - 2020-10-29¶
Improvements¶
[select] Added support for large drilldown keys.
The maximum on the key size of Groonga’s tables are 4KiB. However, if we specify multiple keys in drilldown, the size of drilldown keys may be larger than 4KiB.
For example, if the total size for
tagkey andn_likekey is lager than 4KiB in the following case, the drilldown had failed.
select Entries \ --limit -1 \ --output_columns tag,n_likes \ --drilldowns[tag.n_likes].keys tag,n_likes \ --drilldowns[tag.n_likes].output_columns _value.tag,_value.n_likes,_nsubrecs
Because the drilldown packes specifying all keys for drilldown. So, if each the size of drilldown key is large, the size of the packed drilldown keys is larger than 4KiB.
This feature requires xxHash .
However, if we install Groonga from package, we can use this feature without doing anything special. Because Groonga’s package already include xxHash .
[select] Added support for handling as the same dynamic column even if columns refer to different tables.
We can’t have handled the same dynamic column if columns refer to different tables until now. Because the type of columns is different.
However, from this version, we can handle the same dynamic column even if columns refer to different tables by casting to built-in types as below.
table_create Store_A TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText table_create Store_B TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText table_create Customers TABLE_HASH_KEY Int32 column_create Customers customers_A COLUMN_VECTOR Store_A column_create Customers customers_B COLUMN_VECTOR Store_B load --table Customers [ {"_key": 1604020694, "customers_A": ["A", "B", "C"]}, {"_key": 1602724694, "customers_B": ["Z", "V", "Y", "T"]}, ] select Customers \ --filter '_key == 1604020694' \ --columns[customers].stage output \ --columns[customers].flags COLUMN_VECTOR \ --columns[customers].type ShortText \ --columns[customers].value 'customers_A' \ --output_columns '_key, customers'
We have needed to set
Store_AorStore_Bin thetypeofcustomerscolumn until now.The type of
customers_Acolumn cast toShortTextin the above example.By this, we can also set the value of
customers_Bin the value ofcustomerscolumn. Because both the key ofcustomers_Aandcustomers_BareShortTexttype.
[select] Improved performance when the number of records for search result are huge.
This optimization works when below cases.
--filter 'column <= "value"'or--filter 'column >= "value"'--filter 'column == "value"'--filter 'between(...)'or--filter 'between(_key, ...)'--filter 'sub_filter(reference_column, ...)'Comparing against
_keysuch as--filter '_key > "value"'.--filter 'geo_in_circle(...)'
Updated bundled LZ4 to 1.9.2 from 1.8.2.
Added support xxHash 0.8
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.4.
Fixes¶
Fixed the following bugs related the browser based administration tool. [GitHub#1139][Reported by sutamin]
The problem that Groonga’s logo had not been displayed.
The problem that the throughput chart had not been displayed on the index page for Japanese.
[between] Fixed a bug that
between(_key, ...)is always evaluated by sequential search.
Thanks¶

Release 10.0.7 - 2020-09-29¶
Improvements¶
[highlight], [highlight_full] Added support for normalizer options.
[Return code] Added a new return code
GRN_CONNECTION_RESETfor resetting connection.it is returned when an existing connection was forcibly close by the remote host.
Dropped Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine).
Because this version has been EOL.
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.2.
[grndb] Added support for detecting duplicate keys.
grndb checkis also able to detect duplicate keys since this release.This check valid except a table of
TABLE_NO_KEY.If the table that was detected duplicate keys by
grndb checkhas only index columns, we can recover bygrndb recover.
[table_create], [column_create] Added a new option
--pathWe can store specified a table or a column to any path using this option.
This option is useful if we want to store a table or a column that we often use to fast storage (e.g. SSD) and store them that we don’t often use to slow storage (e.g. HDD).
We can specify both relative path and absolute path in this option.
If we specify relative path in this option, the path is resolved the path of
groongaprocess as the origin.
However, if we specify
--path, the result ofdumpcommand includes--pathinformations.Therefore, if we specify
--path, we can’t restore to host in different enviroment.Because the directory configuration and the location of
groongaprocess in different by each enviroment.
If we don’t want include
--pathinformations to a dump, we need specify--dump_paths noindumpcommand.
[dump] Added a new option
--dump_paths.--dump_pathsoption control whether--pathis dumped or not.The default value of it is
yes.If we specify
--pathwhen we create tables or columns and we don’t want include--pathinformations to a dump, we specifynointo--dump_pathswhen we executedumpcommand.
[functions] Added a new function
string_toknize().It tokenizes the column value that is specified in the second argument with the tokenizer that is specified in the first argument.
[tokenizers] Added a new tokenizer
TokenDocumentVectorTFIDF(experimental).It generates automatically document vector by TF-IDF.
[tokenizers] Added a new tokenizer
TokenDocumentVectorBM25(experimental).It generates automatically document vector by BM25.
[select] Added support for near search in same sentence.
Fixes¶
[load] Fixed a bug that
loaddidn’t a return response when we executed it against 257 columns.This bug may occur from 10.0.4 or later.
This bug only occur when we load data by using
[a, b, c, ...]format.If we load data by using
[{...}], this bug doesn’t occur.
[MessagePack] Fixed a bug that float32 value wasn’t unpacked correctly.
Fixed the following bugs related multi column index.
_scoremay be broken with full text search.The records that couldn’t hit might hit.
Please refer to the following URL for the details about occurrence conditionin of this bug.
Release 10.0.6 - 2020-08-29¶
Improvements¶
[logical_range_filter] Improved search plan for large data.
Normally,
logical_range_filteris faster thanlogical_select. However, it had been slower thanlogical_selectin the below case.If Groonga can’t get the number of required records easily, it has the feature that switches index search from sequential search. (Normally,
logical_range_filteruses a sequential search when records of search target are many.)The search process for it is almost the same as
logical_selectif the above switching occurred. So,logical_range_filteris severalfold slower thanlogical_selectin the above case if the search target is large data. Becauselogical_range_filterexecutes sort after the search.
If we search for large data, Groonga easily use sequential search than until now since this release.
Therefore,
logical_range_filterwill improve performance. Because the case of the search process almost the same aslogical_selectdecreases.
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.19.1.
Modify how to install into Debian GNU/Linux.
We modify to use
groonga-apt-sourceinstead ofgroonga-archive-keyring. Because thelintiancommand recommends usingapt-sourceif a package that it puts files under the/etc/apt/sources.lists.d/.The
lintiancommand is the command which checks for many common packaging errors.Please also refer to the following URL for the details about installation procedures.
[logical_select] Added a support for
highlight_htmlandhighlight_full.Added support for recycling the IDs of records that are deleted when an array without value space delete.[GitHub#mroonga/mroonga#327][Reported by gaeeyo]
If an array that doesn’t have value space is deleted, deleted IDs are never recycled.
Groonga had used large storage space by large ID. Because it uses large storage space by itself.
For example, large ID is caused after many adds and deletes like Mroonga’s
mroonga_operations
[select] Improved performance of full-text-search without index.
[Function] Improved performance for calling of function that all arguments a variable reference or literal.
[Indexing] Improved performance of offline index construction by using token column. [GitHub#1126][Patched by naoa]
Improved performance for
"_score = func(...)".The performance when the
_scorevalue calculate by using only function like"_score = func(...)"improved.
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that garbage may be included in response after response send error.
It may occur if a client didn’t read all responses and closed the connection.

Release 10.0.5 - 2020-07-30¶
Improvements¶
[select] Added support for storing reference in table that we specify with
--load_table.--load_tableis a feature that stores search results to the table in a prepared.If the searches are executed multiple times, we can cache the search results by storing them to this table.
We can shorten the search times that the search after the first time by using this table.
We can store a reference to other tables into the key of this table as below since this release.
We can make a smaller size of this table. Because we only store references without store column values.
If we search against this table, we can search by using indexes for reference destination.
table_create Logs TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Logs timestamp COLUMN_SCALAR Time table_create Times TABLE_PAT_KEY Time column_create Times logs_timestamp COLUMN_INDEX Logs timestamp table_create LoadedLogs TABLE_HASH_KEY Logs load --table Logs [ { "_key": "2015-02-03:1", "timestamp": "2015-02-03 10:49:00" }, { "_key": "2015-02-03:2", "timestamp": "2015-02-03 12:49:00" }, { "_key": "2015-02-04:1", "timestamp": "2015-02-04 00:00:00" } ] select \ Logs \ --load_table LoadedLogs \ --load_columns "_key" \ --load_values "_key" \ --limit 0 select \ --table LoadedLogs \ --filter 'timestamp >= "2015-02-03 12:49:00"' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 2 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "timestamp", "Time" ] ], [ 2, "2015-02-03:2", 1422935340.0 ], [ 3, "2015-02-04:1", 1422975600.0 ] ] ] ]
[select] Improved sort performance on below cases.
When many sort keys need ID resolution.
For example, the following expression needs ID resolution.
--filter true --sort_keys column
For example, the following expression doesn’t need ID resolution. Because the
_scorepseudo column exists in the result table not the source table.--filter true --sort_keys _score
When a sort target table has a key.
Therefore,
TABLE_NO_KEYisn’t supported this improvement.
[select] Improved performance a bit on below cases.
A case of searching for many records matches.
A case of drilldown for many records.
[aggregator] Added support for score accessor for target. [GitHub#1120][Patched by naoa]
For example, we can

[Indexing] Improved performance of offline index construction on VC++ version.
[select] Use
nullinsteadNaN,Infinity, and-Infinitywhen Groonga outputs result for JSON format.Because JSON doesn’t support them.
[select] Add support fot aggregating standard deviation value.
For example, we can calculate a standard deviation for every group as below.
table_create Items TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Items price COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 column_create Items tag COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText load --table Items [ {"_key": "Book", "price": 1000, "tag": "A"}, {"_key": "Note", "price": 1000, "tag": "B"}, {"_key": "Box", "price": 500, "tag": "B"}, {"_key": "Pen", "price": 500, "tag": "A"}, {"_key": "Food", "price": 500, "tag": "C"}, {"_key": "Drink", "price": 300, "tag": "B"} ] select Items \ --drilldowns[tag].keys tag \ --drilldowns[tag].output_columns _key,_nsubrecs,price_sd \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sd].stage group \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sd].type Float \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sd].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sd].value 'aggregator_sd(price)' \ --output_pretty yes [ [ 0, 1594339851.924836, 0.002813816070556641 ], [ [ [ 6 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "price", "UInt32" ], [ "tag", "ShortText" ] ], [ 1, "Book", 1000, "A" ], [ 2, "Note", 1000, "B" ], [ 3, "Box", 500, "B" ], [ 4, "Pen", 500, "A" ], [ 5, "Food", 500, "C" ], [ 6, "Drink", 300, "B" ] ], { "tag": [ [ 3 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "_nsubrecs", "Int32" ], [ "price_sd", "Float" ] ], [ "A", 2, 250.0 ], [ "B", 3, 294.3920288775949 ], [ "C", 1, 0.0 ] ] } ] ]
We can also calculate sample standard deviation to specifing
aggregate_sd(target, {"unbiased": true}).
[Windows] Dropped Visual Studio 2013 support.
Fixes¶
[Groonga HTTP server] Fixed a bug that a request can’t halt even if we execute
shutdown?mode=immediatewhen the response was halted by error occurrence.Fixed a crash bug when an error occurs while a request.
It only occurs when we use Apache Arrow Format.
Groonga crashes when we send request to Groonga again after the previous request was halted by error occurrence.
[between] Fixed a crash bug when temporary table is used.
For example, if we specify a dynamic column in the first argument for
between, Groonga had crashed.
Fixed a bug that procedure created by plugin is freed unexpectedly.
It’s only occurred in reference count mode.
It’s not occurred if we don’t use
plugin_register.It’s not occurred in the process that executes
plugin_register.It’s occurred in the process that doesn’t execute
plugin_register.
Fixed a bug that normalization error occurred while static index construction by
token_column. [GitHub#1122][Reported by naoa]

Release 10.0.4 - 2020-06-29¶
Improvements¶
[Tables] Added support for registering 400M records into a hash table.
[select] Improve scorer performance when the
_scoredoesn’t get recursively values.Groonga get recursively value of
_scorewhen search result is search target.For example, the search targets of
slicesare search result. Therefore, if we useslicein a query, this improvement doesn’t ineffective.
[Log] Improved that we output drilldown keys in query-log.
[reference_acquire], [reference_release] Added new commands for reference count mode.
If we need to call multiple
loadin a short time, auto close by the reference count mode will degrade performance.We can avoid the performance degrading by calling
reference_acquirebefore multipleloadand callingreference_releaseafter multipleload. Betweenreference_acquireandreference_release, auto close is disabled.Because
reference_acquireacquires a reference of target objects.
We can must call
reference_releaseafter you finish performance impact operations.If we don’t call
reference_release, the reference count mode doesn’t work.
[select] Added support for aggregating multiple groups on one time
drilldown.We came to be able to calculate sum or arithmetic mean every different multiple groups on one time
drilldownas below.table_create Items TABLE_HASH_KEY ShortText column_create Items price COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 column_create Items quantity COLUMN_SCALAR UInt32 column_create Items tag COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText load --table Items [ {"_key": "Book", "price": 1000, "quantity": 100, "tag": "A"}, {"_key": "Note", "price": 1000, "quantity": 10, "tag": "B"}, {"_key": "Box", "price": 500, "quantity": 15, "tag": "B"}, {"_key": "Pen", "price": 500, "quantity": 12, "tag": "A"}, {"_key": "Food", "price": 500, "quantity": 111, "tag": "C"}, {"_key": "Drink", "price": 300, "quantity": 22, "tag": "B"} ] select Items \ --drilldowns[tag].keys tag \ --drilldowns[tag].output_columns _key,_nsubrecs,price_sum,quantity_sum \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sum].stage group \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sum].type UInt32 \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sum].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[price_sum].value 'aggregator_sum(price)' \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[quantity_sum].stage group \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[quantity_sum].type UInt32 \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[quantity_sum].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --drilldowns[tag].columns[quantity_sum].value 'aggregator_sum(quantity)' [ [ 0, 0.0, 0.0 ], [ [ [ 6 ], [ [ "_id", "UInt32" ], [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "price", "UInt32" ], [ "quantity", "UInt32" ], [ "tag", "ShortText" ] ], [ 1, "Book", 1000, 100, "A" ], [ 2, "Note", 1000, 10, "B" ], [ 3, "Box", 500, 15, "B" ], [ 4, "Pen", 500, 12, "A" ], [ 5, "Food", 500, 111, "C" ], [ 6, "Drink", 300, 22, "B" ] ], { "tag": [ [ 3 ], [ [ "_key", "ShortText" ], [ "_nsubrecs", "Int32" ], [ "price_sum", "UInt32" ], [ "quantity_sum", "UInt32" ] ], [ "A", 2, 1500, 112 ], [ "B", 3, 1800, 47 ], [ "C", 1, 500, 111 ] ] } ] ]
[groonga executable file] Added support for
--pid-pathin standalone mode.Because
--pid-pathhad been ignored in standalone mode in before version.
[io_flush] Added support for reference count mode.
[logical_range_filter], [logical_count] Added support for reference count mode.
[Groonga HTTP server] We didn’t add header after the last chunk.
Because there is a possibility to exist that the HTTP client ignores header after the last chunk.
[vector_slice] Added support for a vector that has the value of the
Float32type. [GitHub#1112 patched by naoa]Added support for parallel offline index construction using token column.
We came to be able to construct an offline index on parallel threads from data that are tokenized in advance.
We can tune parameters of parallel offline construction by the following environment variables
GRN_TOKEN_COLUMN_PARALLEL_CHUNK_SIZE: We specify how many records are processed per thread.The default value is
1024records.
GRN_TOKEN_COLUMN_PARALLEL_TABLE_SIZE_THRESHOLD: We specify how many source records are required for parallel offline construction.The default value is
102400records.
[select] Improved performance for
load_tableon the reference count mode.
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that the database of Groonga was broken when we search by using the dynamic columns that don’t specify a
--filterand stridden over shard.Fixed a bug that
Float32type had not displayed on a result ofschemacommand.Fixed a bug that we count in surplus to
_nsubrecswhen the referenceuvectorhasn’t element.

Release 10.0.3 - 2020-05-29¶
Improvements¶
We came to be able to construct an inverted index from data that are tokenized in advance.
The construct of an index is speeded up from this.
We need to prepare token column to use this improvement.
token column is an auto generated value column like an index column.
token column value is generated from source column value by tokenizing the source column value.
We can create a token column by setting the source column as below.
table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --normalizer NormalizerNFKC121 \ --default_tokenizer TokenNgram table_create Notes TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Notes title COLUMN_SCALAR Text # The last "title" is the source column. column_create Notes title_terms COLUMN_VECTOR Terms title
[select] We came to be able to specify a
vectorfor the argument of a function.For example,
flagsoptions ofquerycan describe by avectoras below.select \ --table Memos \ --filter 'query("content", "-content:@mroonga", \ { \ "expander": "QueryExpanderTSV", \ "flags": ["ALLOW_LEADING_NOT", "ALLOW_COLUMN"] \ })'
[select] Added a new stage
result_setfor dynamic columns.This stage generates a column into a result set table. Therefore, it is not generated if
queryorfilterdoesn’t existBecause if
queryorfilterdoesn’t exist, Groonga doesn’t make a result set table.
We can’t use
_valuefor the stage. Theresult_setstage is for storing value byscore_column.
[vector_slice] Added support for weight vector that has weight of
Float32type. [GitHub#1106 patched by naoa][select] Added support for
filteredstage andoutputstage of dynamic columns on drilldowns. [GitHub#1101 patched by naoa][GitHub#1100 patched by naoa]We can use
filteredandoutputstage of dynamic columns on drilldowns as withdrilldowns[Label].stage filteredanddrilldowns[Label].stage output.
[select] Added support for
Floattype value in aggregating on drilldown.We can aggregate max value, min value, and sum value for
Floattype value usingMAX,MIN, andSUM.
[query] [geo_in_rectangle] [geo_in_circle] Added a new option
score_columnforquery(),geo_in_rectangle(), andgeo_in_circle().We can store a score value by condition using
score_column.Normally, Groonga calculate a score by adding scores of all conditions. However, we sometimes want to get a score value by condition.
For example, if we want to only use how near central coordinate as score as below, we use
score_column.
table_create LandMarks TABLE_NO_KEY column_create LandMarks name COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create LandMarks category COLUMN_SCALAR ShortText column_create LandMarks point COLUMN_SCALAR WGS84GeoPoint table_create Points TABLE_PAT_KEY WGS84GeoPoint column_create Points land_mark_index COLUMN_INDEX LandMarks point load --table LandMarks [ {"name": "Aries" , "category": "Tower" , "point": "11x11"}, {"name": "Taurus" , "category": "Lighthouse", "point": "9x10" }, {"name": "Gemini" , "category": "Lighthouse", "point": "8x8" }, {"name": "Cancer" , "category": "Tower" , "point": "12x12"}, {"name": "Leo" , "category": "Tower" , "point": "11x13"}, {"name": "Virgo" , "category": "Temple" , "point": "22x10"}, {"name": "Libra" , "category": "Tower" , "point": "14x14"}, {"name": "Scorpio" , "category": "Temple" , "point": "21x9" }, {"name": "Sagittarius", "category": "Temple" , "point": "43x12"}, {"name": "Capricorn" , "category": "Tower" , "point": "33x12"}, {"name": "Aquarius" , "category": "mountain" , "point": "55x11"}, {"name": "Pisces" , "category": "Tower" , "point": "9x9" }, {"name": "Ophiuchus" , "category": "mountain" , "point": "21x21"} ] select LandMarks \ --sort_keys 'distance' \ --columns[distance].stage initial \ --columns[distance].type Float \ --columns[distance].flags COLUMN_SCALAR \ --columns[distance].value 0.0 \ --output_columns 'name, category, point, distance, _score' \ --limit -1 \ --filter 'geo_in_circle(point, "11x11", "11x1", {"score_column": distance}) && category == "Tower"' [ [ 0, 1590647445.406149, 0.0002503395080566406 ], [ [ [ 5 ], [ [ "name", "ShortText" ], [ "category","ShortText" ], [ "point", "WGS84GeoPoint" ], [ "distance", "Float" ], [ "_score", "Int32" ] ], [ "Aries", "Tower", "11x11", 0.0, 1 ], [ "Cancer", "Tower", "12x12", 0.0435875803232193, 1 ], [ "Leo", "Tower", "11x13", 0.06164214760065079, 1 ], [ "Pisces", "Tower", "9x9", 0.0871751606464386, 1 ], [ "Libra", "Tower", "14x14", 0.1307627409696579, 1 ] ] ] ]
The sort by
_scoreis meaningless in the above example. Because the value of_scoreis all1bycategory == "Tower". However, we can sort distance from central coordinate usingscore_column.
[Windows] Groonga came to be able to output backtrace when it occurs error even if it doesn’t crash.
[Windows] Dropped support for old Windows.
Groonga for Windows come to require Windows 8 (Windows Server 2012) or later from 10.0.3.
[select] Improved sort performance when sort keys were mixed referable sort keys and the other sort keys.
We improved sort performance if mixed referable sort keys and the other and there are referable keys two or more.
Referable sort keys are sort keys that except below them.
Compressed columns
_valueagainst the result of drilldown that is specified multiple values to the key of drilldown._keyagainst patricia trie table that has not the key ofShortTexttype._score
The more sort keys that except string, a decrease in the usage of memory for sort.
[select] Improved sort performance when sort keys are all referable keys case.
[select] Improve scorer performance as a
_socre = column1*X + column2*Y + ...case.This optimization effective when there are many
+or*in_score.At the moment, it has only effective against
+and*.
[select] Added support for phrase near search.
We can search phrase by phrase by a near search.
Query syntax for near phrase search is
*NP"Phrase1 phrase2 ...".Script syntax for near phrase search is
column *NP "phrase1 phrase2 ...".If the search target phrase includes space, we can search for it by surrounding it with
"as below.table_create Entries TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Entries content COLUMN_SCALAR Text table_create Terms TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText \ --default_tokenizer 'TokenNgram("unify_alphabet", false, \ "unify_digit", false)' \ --normalizer NormalizerNFKC121 column_create Terms entries_content COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_POSITION Entries content load --table Entries [ {"content": "I started to use Groonga.

It's very fast!" ] ] ] ]
[Vector column] Added support for
float32weight vector.We can store weight as
float32instead ofuint32.We need to add
WEIGHT_FLOAT32flag when executecolumn_createto use this feature.column_create Records tags COLUMN_VECTOR|WITH_WEIGHT|WEIGHT_FLOAT32 Tags
However,
WEIGHT_FLOAT32flag isn’t available withCOLUMN_INDEXflag for now.
Added following APIs

We had to implement parsing to options ourselves until now, however, we can parse them by just call this function from this version.
grn_proc_options_parse(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_obj *options, const char *tag, const char *name, ...)It calls
grn_proc_options_parsev(). Therefore, features of this function samegrn_proc_options_parsev().It only differs in the interface compare with

Fixed precision of
Float32value when it outputted.The precision of it changes to 8-digit to 7-digit from 10.0.3.
Fixed a bug that Groonga used the wrong cache when the query that just the parameters of dynamic column different was executed. [GitHub#1102 patched by naoa]

Release 10.0.2 - 2020-04-29¶
Improvements¶
Added support for
uvectorfortime_classify_*functions. [GitHub#1089][Patched by naoa]uvectoris a vector that size of elements for vector are fixed.For example, a vector that has values of Time type as elements is a
uvector.
Improve sort performance if sort key that can’t refer value with zero-copy is mixed.
Some sort key (e.g.
_score) values can’t be referred with zero-copy.If there is at least one sort key that can’t be referable is included, all sort keys are copied before.
With this change, we just copy sort keys that can’t be referred. Referable sort keys are just referred without a copy.
However, this change may have performance regression when all sort keys are referable.
Added support for loading weight vector as a JSON string.
We can load weight vector as a JSON string as below example.
table_create Tags TABLE_PAT_KEY ShortText table_create Data TABLE_NO_KEY column_create Data tags COLUMN_VECTOR|WITH_WEIGHT Tags column_create Tags data_tags COLUMN_INDEX|WITH_WEIGHT Data tags load --table Data [ {"tags": "{\"fruit\": 10, \"apple\": 100}"}, {"tags": "{\"fruit\": 200}"} ]
Added support for
Float32type.Groonga already has a
Floattype. However, it is double precision floating point number. Therefore if we only use single precision floating point number, it is not efficient.We can select more suitable type by adding a
Float32type.
Added following APIs
grn_obj_unref(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_obj *obj)This API is only used on the reference count mode (The reference count mode is a state of
GRN_ENABLE_REFERENCE_COUNT=yes.).It calls
grn_obj_unlink()only on the reference count mode. It doesn’t do anything except when the reference count mode.We useful it when we need only call
grn_obj_unlink()on the referece count mode.Because as the following example, we don’t write condition that whether the reference count mode or not.
The example if we don’t use
grn_obj_unref().if (grn_enable_reference_count) { grn_obj_unlink(ctx, obj); }
The example if we use
grn_obj_unref().grn_obj_ubref(ctx, obj);
grn_get_version_major(void)grn_get_version_minor(void)grn_get_version_micro(void)They return Groonga’s major, minor, and micor version numbers as a
uint32_t.
grn_posting_get_record_id(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)grn_posting_get_section_id(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)grn_posting_get_position(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)grn_posting_get_tf(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)grn_posting_get_weight(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)grn_posting_get_weight_float(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)grn_posting_get_rest(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)They return information on the posting list.
These APIs return value as a
uint32_texceptgrn_posting_get_weight_float.grn_posting_get_weight_floatreturns value as afloat.grn_posting_get_section_id(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)Section id is the internal representation of the column name.
If column name store in posting list as a string, it is a large amount of information and it use waste capacity.
Therefore, Groonga compresses the amount of information and use storage capacity is small by storing column name in the posting list as a number called section id.
grn_posting_get_tf(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)tfofgrn_posting_get_tfis Term Frequency score.
grn_posting_get_weight_float(grn_ctx *ctx, grn_posting *posting)It returns weight of token as a
float.We suggest using this API when we get a weight of token after this.
Because we modify the internal representation of the weight from
uint32_ttofloatin the near future.
Fixes¶
Fixed a bug that Groonga for 32bit on GNU/Linux may crash.
Fixed a bug that unrelated column value may be cleared. [GtiHub#1087][Reported by sutamin]
Fixed a memory leak when we dumped records with
dumpcommand.Fixed a memory leak when we specified invalid value into
output_columns.Fixed a memory leak when we executed

Release 10.0.1 - 2020-03-30¶
We have been released Groonga 10.0.1. Because Ubuntu and Windows(VC++ version) package in Groonga 10.0.0 were mistaken.
If we have already used Groonga 10.0.0 for CentOS, Debian, Windows(MinGW version), no problem with continued use it.
Fixes¶
Added a missing runtime(vcruntime140_1.dll) in package for Windows VC++ version.
Release 10.0.0 - 2020-03-29¶
Improvements¶
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.17.9.
[httpd] Added support for specifying output type as an extension.
For example, we can write
load.jsoninstead ofload?output_type=json.
[Log] Outputted a path of opened or closed file into a log of dump level on Linux.
[Log] Outputted a path of closed file into a log of debug level on Windows.
Added following API and macros
grn_timeval_from_double(grn_ctx, double)This API converts
doubletype togrn_timevaltype.It returns value of
grn_timevaltype.
GRN_TIMEVAL_TO_NSEC(timeval)This macro converts value of
grn_timevaltype to nanosecond as the value ofuint64_ttype.
GRN_TIME_USEC_TO_SEC(usec)This macro converts microsecond to second.
Deprecated the following macro.
GRN_OBJ_FORMAT_FIN(grn_ctx, grn_obj_format)We
grn_obj_format_fin(grn_ctx, grn_obj_format)use instead since 10.0.0.
[logical_range_filter],[dump] Added support for stream output.
This feature requires
command_version 3or later. The header content is outputted after the body content.Currently, this feature support only
dumpandlogical_range_filter.logical_range_filteralways returns the output as a stream oncommand_version 3or later.This feature has the following limitations.
-1 is only allowed for negative
limitMessagePack output isn’t supported
We a little changed the response contents of JSON by this modify.
The key order differs from before versions as below.
The key order in before versions.
{ "header": {...}, "body": {...} }
The key order in this version(10.0.0).
{ "body": {...}, "header": {...} }
Disabled caches of
dumpandlogical_range_filterwhen they execute oncommand_version 3.Because of
dumpandlogical_range_filteroncommand_version 3returns stream since 10.0.0, Groonga can not cache the whole response.
[logical_range_filter] Added support for outputting response as Apache Arrow format.
Supported data type as below.
UInt8Int8UInt16Int16UInt32Int32UInt64Int64TimeShortTextTextLongTextVectorofInt32Reference vector
Supported Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa).
Dropped Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo).
Because this version has been EOL.
Release 9.1.2 - 2020-01-29¶
Improvements¶
[tools] Added a script for copying only files of specify tables or columns.
This script name is copy-related-files.rb.
This script is useful if we want to extract specifying tables or columns from a huge database.
Related files of specific tables or columns may need for reproducing fault.
If we difficult to offer a database whole, we can extract related files of target tables or columns by this tool.
[shutdown] Accept
/d/shutdown?mode=immediateimmediately even when all threads are used.This feature can only use on the Groonga HTTP server.
Unused objects free immediately by using
GRN_ENABLE_REFERENCE_COUNT=yes.This feature is experimental. Performance degrade by this feature.
If we load to span many tables, we can expect to keep in the usage of memory by this feature.
[CentOS] We prepare
groonga-releaseby version.Note that the little modification how to install.
[Debian GNU/Linux] We use
groonga-archive-keyringfor adding the Groonga apt repository.We can easy to add the Groonga apt repository to our system by this improvement.
groonga-archive-keyringincludes all information for using the Groonga apt repository. Thus, we need not be conscious of changing of repository information or PGP key by installing this package.groonga-archive-keyringis deb package. Thus, we can easy to update byapt update.
Release 9.1.1 - 2020-01-07¶
Improvements¶
[load] Added support for Apache Arrow format data.
If we use Apache Arrow format data, we may reduce parse cost. Therefore, data might be loading faster than other formats.
Groonga can also directly input data for Apache Arrow format from other data analysis systems by this improvement.
However, Apache Arrow format can use in the HTTP interface only. We can’t use it in the command line interface.
[load] Added how to load Apache Arrow format data in the document.
[load] Improve error message.
Response of
loadcommand includes error message also.If we faile data load, Groonga output error detail of
loadcommand by this Improvement.
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.17.7.
[Groonga HTTP server] Added support for sending command parameters by body of HTTP request.
We must set
application/x-www-form-urlencodedtoContent-Typefor this case.
[Groonga HTTP server] Added how to use HTTP POST in the document.
Release 9.1.0 - 2019-11-29¶
Improvements¶
Improved the performance of the “&&” operation.
For example, the performance of condition expression such as the following is increased.
( A || B ) && ( C || D ) && ( E || F) …
[TokenMecab] Added a new option
use_base_formWe can search using the base form of a token by this option.
For example, if we search “支えた” using this option, “支える” is hit also.
Fixes¶
Fix a bug that when the accessor is index, performance decreases.
For example, it occurs with the query include the following conditions.
accessor @ queryaccessor == query
Fixed a bug the estimated size of a search result was overflow when the buffer is big enough. [PGroonga#GitHub#115][Reported by Albert Song]
Improved a test(1) portability. [GitHub#1065][Patched by OBATA Akio]

$request_time, groonga-httpd output the correct time form this version.
[groonga-httpd] Added how to set the
$request_timein the document.Supported Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine)
Supported CentOS 8 (experimental)
The package for CentOS 8 can’t use a part of features(e.g. we can’t use
TokenMecaband can’t cast to int32 vector from JSON string) for lacking some packages for development.
[tools] Added a script for executing the
index_column_diffcommand simply.This script name is index-column-diff-all.sh.
This script extracts index columns form Groonga’s database and execute the
index_column_diffcommand to them.

Improvements¶
[log_reopen] Added a supplementary explanation when we use
groonga-httpdwith 2 or more workers.Improved that Groonga ignores the index being built.
We can get correct search results even if the index is under construction.
However, the search is slow because of Groonga out of use the index to search in this case.
[sub_filter] Added a feature that
sub_filterexecutes a sequential search when Groonga is building indexes for the target column or the target column hasn’t indexed.sub_filterwas an error if the above situation in before version.From this version,
sub_filterreturns search results if the above situation.However if the above situation,
sub_filteris slow. Because it is executed as a sequential search.
[CentOS] Dropped 32-bit package support on CentOS 6.

Release 8.0.7 - 2018-09-29¶
Improvements¶
[Tokenizers][TokenMecab] support outputting metadata of Mecab.
Added new option
include_classforTokenMecab.This option outputs
classandsubclassin Mecab’s metadata.Added new option
include_readingforTokenMecab.This option outputs
readingin Mecab’s metadata.Added new option
include_formforTokenMecab.This option outputs
inflected_type,inflected_formandbase_formin Mecab’s metadata.Added new option
use_readingforTokenMecab.This option supports a search by kana.
This option is useful for countermeasure of orthographical variants because it searches with kana.
[plugin] Groonga now can grab plugins from multiple directories.
You can specify multiple directories to
GRN_PLUGINS_PATHseparated with “:” on non Windows, “;” on Windows.GRN_PLUGINS_PATHhas high priority than the existingGRN_PLUGINS_DIR. Currently, this option is not supported Windows.[Tokenizers][TokenNgram] Added new option
unify_alphabetforTokenNgram.If we use
unify_alphabetasfalse,TokenNgramuses bigram tokenize method for ASCII character.[Tokenizers][TokenNgram] Added new option
unify_symbolforTokenNgram.TokenNgram("unify_symbol", false)is same behavior ofTokenBigramSplitSymbol.[Tokenizers][TokenNgram] Added new option
unify_digitforTokenNgram.If we use
unify_digitasfalse, If we set false,TokenNgramuses bigram tokenize method for digits.[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.15.4.
Fixes¶
Fixed wrong score calculations on some cases.
It’s caused when adding, multiplication or division numeric to a bool value.
It’s caused when comparing a scalar and vector columns using
!=or==.
Release 8.0.6 - 2018-08-29¶
Improvements¶
[Tokenizers][TokenMecab] add
chunked_tokenizeandchunk_size_thresholdoptions.[optimizer] support estimation for query family expressions. It will generate more effective execution plan with query family expressions such as
column @ query,column @~ patternand so on.[optimizer] plug-in -> built-in It’s disabled by default for now. We can enable it by defining
GRN_EXPR_OPTIMIZE=yesenvironment variable or usingexpression_rewriterstable as before.Enable sequential search for enough filtered case by default. If the current result is enough filtered, sequential search is faster than index search. If the current result has only 1% records of all records in a table and less than 1000 records, sequential search is used even when index search is available.
Cullently, this optimization is applied when search by
==,>,<,>=, or<=.When a key of a table that has columns specified by the filter is
ShortText, you must setNormalizerAutoto normalizer of the table to apply this optimization.You can disable this feature by
GRN_TABLE_SELECT_ENOUGH_FILTERED_RATIO=0.0environment variable.[load] improve error message. Table name is included.
[load] add
lock_tableoption. If--lock_table yesis specified,loadlocks the target table while updating columns and applying--each. This option avoidsloadanddeleteconflicts but it’ll reduce load performance.[vector_find] avoid to crash with unsupported modes
Fixes¶
[index] fix a bug that offline index construction for text vector with
HASH_KEY. It creates index with invalid section ID.Fix a bug that
--match_columns 'index[0] || index[9]'uses wrong section.[highlighter] fix a wrong highlight bug It’s caused when lexicon is hash table and keyword is less than N of N-gram.
[mruby] fix a bug that real error is hidden. mruby doesn’t support error propagation by no argument raise. https://github.com/mruby/mruby/issues/290
[Tokenizers][TokenNgram loose]: fix a not found bug when query has only loose types.
highlight_html()with lexicon was also broken.Fix a bug that text->number cast ignores trailing garbage. “0garbage” should be cast error.
Fix an optimization bug for
reference_column >= 'key_value'case

[highlighter][lexicon] Fixed a not highlighted bug. The keyword wasn’t highlighted if keyword length is less than N (“N”-gram. In many cases, it’s Bigram so “less than 2”).
[windows] Fixed a base path detection bug. If system locale DLL path includes 0x5c (
\in ASCII) such as “U+8868 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-8868” in CP932, the base path detection is buggy.[Tokenizers][TokenNgram] Fixed wrong first character length. It’s caused for “PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH” characters such as “U+3231 PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH STOCK”.

Release 8.0.1 - 2018-03-29¶
Improvements¶
[Log] Show
filterconditions in query log. It’s disabled by default. To enable it, you need to set an environment variableGRN_QUERY_LOG_SHOW_CONDITION=yes.Install
*.pdbinto the directory where*.dlland*.exeare installed.[logical_count] Support
filteredstage dynamic columns.[logical_count] [post_filter] Added a new filter timing. It’s executed after
filteredstage columns are generated.[logical_select] [post_filter] Added a new filter timing. It’s executed after
filteredstage columns are generated.Support LZ4/Zstd/zlib compression for vector data.
Support alias to accessor such as
_key.[logical_range_filter] Optimize window function for large result set. If we find enough matched records, we don’t apply window function to the remaining windows.
TODO: Disable this optimization for small result set if its overhead is not negligible. The overhead is not evaluated yet.
[select] Added
match_escalationparameter. You can force to enable match escalation by--match_escalation yes. It’s stronger than--match_escalation_threshold 99999....999because--match_escalation yesalso works withSOME_CONDITIONS && column @ 'query'.--match_escalation_thresholdisn’t used in this case.The default is
--match_escalation auto. It doesn’t change the current behavior.You can disable match escalation by
--match_escalation no. It’s the same as--match_escalation_threshold -1.[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.13.10.
Fixes¶
Fixed memory leak that occurs when a prefix query doesn’t match any token. [GitHub#820][Patch by Naoya Murakami]

Thanks¶
Naoya Murakami
Release 8.0.0 - 2018-02-09¶
This is a major version up! But It keeps backward compatibility. You can upgrade to 8.0.0 without rebuilding database.
Improvements¶
[select] Added
--drilldown_adjusterand--drilldowns[LABEL].adjuster. You can adjust score against result of drilldown.[Online index construction] Changed environment variable name
GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_ENABLEtoGRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLD.GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLD=0 == GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_ENABLE=no.GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLD=-1usesii->chunk->max_map_seg / 2as threshold.GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLD > 0usesMIN(ii->chunk->max_map_seg / 2, GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLD)as threshold.GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLD=32is the default.[between] Accept
between()without borders. If the number of arguments passed tobetween()is 3, the 2nd and 3rd arguments are handled as the inclusive edges. [GitHub#685]
Fixes¶
Fixed a memory leak for normal hash table. [GitHub:mroonga/mroonga#190][Reported by fuku1]
Fix a memory leak for normal array.
[select] Stopped to cache when

Release 7.1.1 - 2018-01-29¶
Improvements¶
[Ubuntu] Dropped Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) support. It has reached EOL at Jan 13, 2018.
Added quorum match support. You can use quorum match in both script syntax and query syntax. [groonga-talk,385][Suggested by 付超群]
TODO: Add documents for quorum match syntax and link to them.
Added custom similarity threshold support in script syntax. You can use custom similarity threshold in script syntax.
TODO: Add document for the syntax and link to it.
[grndb][--force-lock-clear] Added
--force-lock-clearoption. With this option,grndbforces to clear locks of database, tables and data columns. You can use your database again even if locks are remained in database, tables and data columns.But this option very risky. Normally, you should not use it. If your database is broken, your database is still broken. This option just ignores locks.
[load] Added surrogate pairs support in escape syntax. For example,
\uD83C\uDF7Ais processed as🍺.[Windows] Changed to use sparse file on Windows. It reduces disk space and there are no performance demerit.
[Online index construction] Added
GRN_II_REDUCE_EXPIRE_THRESHOLDenvironment variable to control when memory maps are expired in index column. It’s-1by default. It means that expire timing is depends on index column size. If index column is smaller, expire timing is more. If index column is larger, expire timing is less.You can use the previous behavior by
0. It means that Groonga always tries to expire.[logical_range_filter] [post_filter] Added a new filter timing. It’s executed after
filteredstage generated columns are generated.
Fixes¶
Reduced resource usage for creating index for reference vector. [GitHub#806][Reported by Naoya Murakami]

NaNandInfinity,-Infinityinstead of Lisp representations(#<nan>and#i1/0,#-i1/0).Supported vector for drilldown calc target.
Partially supported keyword extraction from regexp search. It enables
highlight_htmlandsnippet_htmlfor regexp search. [GitHub#787][Reported by takagi01][bulk] Reduced the number of
realloc().grn_bulk_*()API supports it.It improves performance for large output case on Windows. For example, it causes 100x faster for 100MB over output.
Because
realloc()is heavy on Windows.Enabled
GRN_II_OVERLAP_TOKEN_SKIP_ENABLEonly when its value is “yes”.Deprecated
GRN_NGRAM_TOKENIZER_REMOVE_BLANK_DISABLE. UseGRN_NGRAM_TOKENIZER_REMOVE_BLANK_ENABLE=noinstead.Added new function

initialandfilteredstage are only supported.[logical_range_filter] Added documentation about
cacheparameter and dynamic columns.[logical_count] Supported dynamic columns. Note that
initialstage is only supported.[logical_count] Added documentation about named parameters.
[select] Supported
--match_columns _keywithout index.[in_values] Supported to specify more than 126 values. [GitHub#760] [GitHub#781] [groonga-dev,04449] [Reported by Murata Satoshi]
[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.13.7.
Fixes¶
[httpd] Fixed build error when old Groonga is already installed. [GitHub#775] [Reported by myamanishi3]
[in_values] Fixed a bug that
in_valueswith too many arguments can cause a crash. This bug is found during supporting more than 126 values. [GitHub#780][cmake] Fixed LZ4 and MessagePack detection. [Reported by Sergei Golubchik]
[Offline index construction] Fixed a bug that offline index construction for vector column consumes unnecessary resources. If you have a log of elements in one vector column and many records, Groonga will crash. [groonga-dev,04533][Reported by Toshio Uchiyama]

Release 7.0.8 - 2017-10-29¶
Improvements¶
[windows] Supported backtrace on crash. This feature not only function call history but also source filename and number of lines can be displayed as much as possible. This feature makes problem solving easier.
Supported
( )(empty block) only query (--query "( )") forQUERY_NO_SYNTAX_ERROR. In the previous version, it caused an error. [GitHub#767]Supported
(+)(only and block) only query (--query "(+)") forQUERY_NO_SYNTAX_ERROR. In the previous version, it caused an error. [GitHub#767]Supported
~foo(starting with “~”) query (--query "~y") forQUERY_NO_SYNTAX_ERROR. In the previous version, it caused an error. [GitHub#767]Modified log level of
expiredfrominfotodebug.2017-10-29 14:05:34.123456|i| <0000000012345678:0> expired i=000000000B123456 max=10 (2/2)This message is logged when memory mapped area for index is unmapped. Thus, this log message is useful information for debugging, in other words, as it is unnecessary information in normal operation, we changed log level frominfotodebug.Supported Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark)
Fixes¶
[dat] Fixed a bug that large file is created unexpectedly in the worst case during database expansion process. This bug may occurs when you create/delete index columns so frequently. In 7.0.7 release, a related bug was fixed - “
table_createcommand fails when there are many deleted keys”, but it turns out that it is not enough in the worst case.[logical_select] Fixed a bug that when
offsetandlimitwere applied to multiple shards at the same time, there is a case that it returns a fewer number of records unexpectedly.
Release 7.0.7 - 2017-09-29¶
Improvements¶
Supported
+only query (--query "+") forQUERY_NO_SYNTAX_ERROR. In the previous version, it caused an error.[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.13.5.
[dump] Added the default argument values to the syntax section.
[Command version] Supported
--default-command-version 3.Supported caching select result with function call. Now, most of existing functions supports this feature. There are two exception, when
now()andrand()are used in query, select result will not cached. Because of this default behavior change, new APIs are introduced.grn_proc_set_is_stable()grn_proc_is_stable()
Note that if you add a new function that may return different result with the same argument, you must call
grn_proc_is_stable(ctx, proc, GRN_FALSE). If you don’t call it, select result with the function call is cached and is wrong result for multiple requests.
Fixes¶
[windows] Fixed to clean up file handle correctly on failure when
database_unmapis executed. There is a case that critical section is not initialized when request is canceled before executingdatabase_unmap. In such a case, it caused a crach bug.[Tokenizers] Fixed document for wrong tokenizer names. It should be
TokenBigramIgnoreBlankSplitSymbolAlphaandTokenBigramIgnoreBlankSplitSymbolAlphaDigit.Changed not to keep created empty file on error.
In the previous versions, there is a case that empty file keeps remain on error.
Here is the senario to reproduce:
creating new file by grn_fileinfo_open succeeds
mapping file by DO_MAP() is failed
In such a case, it causes an another error such as “already file exists” because of the file which isn’t under control. so these file should be removed during cleanup process.
Fixed a bug that Groonga may be crashed when search process is executed during executing many updates in a short time.
[table_create] Fixed a bug that
table_createfailed when there are many deleted keys.
Release 7.0.6 - 2017-08-29¶
Improvements¶
Supported prefix match search using multiple indexes. (e.g.
--query "Foo*" --match_columns "TITLE_INDEX_COLUMN||BODY_INDEX_COLUMN").[window_count] Supported
window_countfunction to add count data to result set. It is useful to analyze or filter additionally.Added the following API
grn_obj_get_disk_usage():GRN_EXPR_QUERY_NO_SYNTAX_ERRORgrn_expr_syntax_expand_query_by_table()grn_table_find_reference_object()
[object_inspect] Supported to show disk usage about specified object.
Supported falling back query parse feature. It is enabled when
QUERY_NO_SYNTAX_ERRORflag is set toquery_flags. (this feature is disabled by default). If this flag is set, query never causes syntax error. For example, “A +” is parsed and escaped automatically into “A +”. This behavior is useful when application uses user input directly and doesn’t want to show syntax error to user and in log.Supported to adjust score for term in query. “>”, “<”, and “~” operators are supported. For example, “>Groonga” increments score of “Groonga”, “<Groonga” decrements score of “Groonga”. “~Groonga” decreases score of matched document in the current search result. “~” operator doesn’t change search result itself.
Improved performance to remove table.
thread_limit=1is not needed for it. The process about checking referenced table existence is done without opening objects. As a result, performance is improved.[httpd] Updated bundled nginx to 1.13.4.
Fixes¶
[dump] Fixed a bug that the 7-th unnamed parameter for –sort_hash_table option is ignored.
[schema] Fixed a typo in command line parameter name. It should be source instead of sources. [groonga-dev,04449] [Reported by murata satoshi]
[ruby_eval] Fixed crash when ruby_eval returned syntax error. [GitHub#751] [Patch by ryo-pinus]
