Hello ! I would like to introduce a new fulltext storage engine "mroonga", that will be included in the future MariaDB release. Mroonga is a fulltext storage engine having the following characteristics: * CJK ready fulltext search * no read lock * faster than MyISAM for both indexing and searching * geolocalazation search is also supported Current development branch is : https://code.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/mariadb-5.3-monty Further information about mroonga can be found : https://kb.askmonty.org/en/about-mroonga You can also see some presentations : http://mroonga.github.com/publication/ I sincerely ask you to try mroonga, at least compile and run tests, on various platforms, like the following procedure. (get source tree) $ ./BUILD/compile-pentium-max (wait for a while) $ cd mysql-test $ ./mtr --suite=mroonga_storage,mroonga_wrapper --force If you find any problem like compilation error, test failure, or whatever, please let me know. Thanks in advance ! -- Kazuhiko Shiozaki, Nexedi SA Senior Consultant Nexedi: Consulting and Development of Free / Open Source Software http://www.nexedi.co.jp/ ERP5: Full Featured High End Open Source ERP http://www.erp5.com/
