At Manticore, we gather various anonymized metrics to enhance the quality of our products, including Manticore Search. By analyzing this data, we can not only improve the overall performance of our product but also identify which features would be most beneficial to prioritize in order to provide even more value to our users. The telemetry system operates on a separate thread in a non-blocking mode, taking snapshots and sending them once every few minutes.
We take your privacy seriously, and you can rest assured that all metrics are completely anonymous and no sensitive information is transmitted. However, if you still wish to disable telemetry, you have the option to do so by:
- Setting the environment variable
TELEMETRY=0
- Or setting
telemetry = 0
in the sectionsearchd
of your configuration file
Here is a list of all the metrics we collect:
The ⏱️ symbol indicates that the metric is collected periodically, as opposed to other metrics which are collected based on specific events.
Metric | Description |
---|---|
invocation |
Sent when Manticore Buddy is launched |

The Manticore backup tool sends anonymized metrics to the Manticore metrics server by default in order to help improve the product. If you don't want to send telemetry, you can disable it by running the tool with the --disable-metric
flag or by setting the environment variable TELEMETRY=0
.

- Support of Manticore Columnar Library v2.2.4
Released: August 4th 2023
- The query optimizer has been enhanced to support full-text queries, significantly improving search efficiency and performance.
- Integrations with:
- mysqldump - to make logical backups using
mysqldump
- Apache Superset and Grafana to visualize data stored in Manticore
- HeidiSQL and DBForge for easier development with Manticore
- mysqldump - to make logical backups using
- We've started using GitHub workflows, making it simpler for contributors to utilize the same Continuous Integration (CI) process that the core team applies when preparing packages. All jobs can be run on GitHub-hosted runners, which facilitates seamless testing of changes in your fork of Manticore Search.
- We've started using CLT to test complex scenarios. For example, we're now able to ensure that a package built after a commit can be properly installed across all supported Linux operating systems. The Command Line Tester (CLT) provides a user-friendly way to record tests in an interactive mode and to effortlessly replay them.
- Significant performance improvement in count distinct operation by employing a combination of hash tables and HyperLogLog.
- Enabled multithreaded execution of queries containing secondary indexes, with the number of threads limited to the count of physical CPU cores. This should considerably improve the query execution speed.
pseudo_sharding
has been adjusted to be limited to the number of free threads. This update considerably enhances the throughput performance.- Users now have the option to specify the default attribute storage engine via the configuration settings, providing better customization to match specific workload requirements.

will return all the columns. Note that the optional 'limit' will always be ignored. - Commit 6aca: Implemented the
CREATE DATABASE
stub query. - Commit 9dc1: When executing
ALTER TABLE table REBUILD SECONDARY
, secondary indexes are now always rebuilt, even if attributes weren't updated. - Commit 46ed: Sorters utilizing precalculated data are now identified before using CBO to avoid unnecessary CBO calculations.

Released: Feb 7 2023
Starting with this release, Manticore Search comes with Manticore Buddy, a sidecar daemon written in PHP that handles high-level functionality that does not require super low latency or high throughput. Manticore Buddy operates behind the scenes, and you may not even realize it is running. Although it is invisible to the end user, it was a significant challenge to make Manticore Buddy easily installable and compatible with the main C++-based daemon. This major change will allow the team to develop a wide range of new high-level features, such as shards orchestration, access control and authentication, and various integrations like mysqldump, DBeaver, Grafana mysql connector. For now it already handles SHOW QUERIES, BACKUP and Auto schema.
This release also includes more than 130 bug fixes and numerous features, many of which can be considered major.
- 🔬 Experimental: you can now execute Elasticsearch-compatible insert and replace JSON queries which enables using Manticore with tools like Logstash (version < 7.13), Filebeat and other tools from the Beats family. Enabled by default. You can disable it using
SET GLOBAL ES_COMPAT=off
. - Support for Manticore Columnar Library 2.0.0 with numerous fixes and improvements in Secondary indexes. ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Secondary indexes are ON by default as of this release. Make sure you do ALTER TABLE table_name REBUILD SECONDARY if you are upgrading from Manticore 5. See below for more details.
- Commit c436 Auto-schema: you can now skip creating a table, just insert the first document and Manticore will create the table automatically based on its fields. Read more about this in detail here. You can turn it on/off using searchd.auto_schema.
- Vast revamp of cost-based optimizer which lowers query response time in many cases.
- Issue #1008 Parallelization performance estimate in CBO.
- Issue #1014 CBO is now aware of secondary indexes and can act smarter.
- Commit cef9 Encoding stats of columnar tables/fields are now stored in the meta data to help CBO make smarter decisions.
- Commit 2b95 Added CBO hints for fine-tuning its behaviour.
- Telemetry: we are excited to announce the addition of telemetry in this release. This feature allows us to collect anonymous and depersonalized metrics that will help us improve the performance and user experience of our product. Rest assured, all data collected is completely anonymous and will not be linked to any personal information. This feature can be easily turned off in the settings if desired.
- Commit 5aaf ALTER TABLE table_name REBUILD SECONDARY to rebuild secondary indexes whenever you want, for example:
- when you migrate from Manticore 5 to the newer version,
- when you did UPDATE (i.e. in-place update, not replace) of an attribute in the index
- Issue #821 New tool
manticore-backup
for backing up and restoring Manticore instance - SQL command BACKUP to do backups from inside Manticore.
- SQL command SHOW QUERIES as an easy way to see running queries rather than threads.
- Issue #551 SQL command
KILL
to kill a long-runningSELECT
. - Dynamic
max_matches
for aggregation queries to increase accuracy and lower response time.
-
Issue #822 SQL commands FREEZE/UNFREEZE to prepare a real-time/plain table for a backup.
-
Commit c470 New settings
accurate_aggregation
andmax_matches_increase_threshold
for controlled aggregation accuracy. -
Issue #718 Support for signed negative 64-bit IDs. Note, you still can't use IDs > 2^63, but you can now use ids in the range of from -2^63 to 0.
-
As we recently added support for secondary indexes, things became confusing as "index" could refer to a secondary index, a full-text index, or a plain/real-time
index
. To reduce confusion, we are renaming the latter to "table". The following SQL/command line commands are affected by this change. Their old versions are deprecated, but still functional:index <table name>
=>table <table name>
,searchd -i / --index
=>searchd -t / --table
,SHOW INDEX STATUS
=>SHOW TABLE STATUS
,SHOW INDEX SETTINGS
=>SHOW TABLE SETTINGS
,FLUSH RTINDEX
=>FLUSH TABLE
,OPTIMIZE INDEX
=>OPTIMIZE TABLE
,ATTACH TABLE plain TO RTINDEX rt
=>ATTACH TABLE plain TO TABLE rt
,RELOAD INDEX
=>RELOAD TABLE
,RELOAD INDEXES
=>RELOAD TABLES
.
We are not planning to make the old forms obsolete, but to ensure compatibility with the documentation, we recommend changing the names in your application. What will be changed in a future release is the "index" to "table" rename in the output of various SQL and JSON commands.
-
Queries with stateful UDFs are now forced to be executed in a single thread.
-
Issue #1011 Refactoring of all related to time scheduling as a prerequisite for parallel chunks merging.
-
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Columnar storage format has been changed. You need to rebuild those tables that have columnar attributes.
-
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Secondary indexes file format has been changed, so if you are using secondary indexes for searching and have
searchd.secondary_indexes = 1
in your configuration file, be aware that the new Manticore version will skip loading the tables that have secondary indexes. It's recommended to:- Before you upgrade change
searchd.secondary_indexes
to 0 in the configuration file. - Run the instance. Manticore will load up the tables with a warning.
- Run
ALTER TABLE <table name> REBUILD SECONDARY
for each index to rebuild secondary indexes.
If you are running a replication cluster, you'll need to run
ALTER TABLE <table name> REBUILD SECONDARY
on all the nodes or follow this instruction with just change: run theALTER .. REBUILD SECONDARY
instead of theOPTIMIZE
. - Before you upgrade change
-
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: The binlog version has been updated, so any binlogs from previous versions will not be replayed. It is important to ensure that Manticore Search is stopped cleanly during the upgrade process. This means that there should be no binlog files in
/var/lib/manticore/binlog/
except forbinlog.meta
after stopping the previous instance. -
Issue #849
SHOW SETTINGS
: you can now see the settings from the configuration file from inside Manticore. -
Issue #1007 SET GLOBAL CPUSTATS=1/0 turns on/off cpu time tracking; SHOW THREADS now doesn't show CPU statistics when the cpu time tracking is off.
-
Issue #1009 RT table RAM chunk segments can now be merged while the RAM chunk is being flushed.
-
Issue #1012 Added secondary index progress to the output of indexer.
-
Issue #1013 Previously a table record could be removed by Manticore from the index list if it couldn't start serving it on start. The new behaviour is to keep it in the list to try to load it on the next start.
-
indextool --docextract returns all the words and hits belonging to requested document.
-
Commit 2b29 Environment variable
dump_corrupt_meta
enables dumping a corrupted table meta data to log in case searchd can't load the index. -
Commit c7a3
DEBUG META
can showmax_matches
and pseudo sharding statistics. -
Commit 6bca A better error instead of the confusing "Index header format is not json, will try it as binary...".
-
Commit bef3 Ukirainian lemmatizer path has been changed.
-
Commit 4ae7 Secondary indexes statistics has been added to SHOW META.
-
Commit 2e7c JSON interface can now be easily visualized using Swagger Editor https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Openapi#OpenAPI-specification.
-
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Replication protocol has been changed. If you are running a replication cluster, then when upgrading to Manticore 5 you need to:
- stop all your nodes first cleanly
- and then start the node which was stopped last with
--new-cluster
(run toolmanticore_new_cluster
in Linux). - read about restarting a cluster for more details.
- Refactoring of Secondary indexes integration with Columnar storage.

🔬 Support for Manticore Columnar Library 1.15.2, which enables Secondary indexes beta version. Building secondary indexes is on by default for plain and real-time columnar and row-wise indexes (if Manticore Columnar Library is in use), but to enable it for searching you need to set
secondary_indexes = 1
either in your configuration file or using SET GLOBAL. The new functionality is supported in all operating systems except old Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial. -
Read-only mode: you can now specify listeners that process only read queries discarding any writes.
-
New /cli endpoint for running SQL queries over HTTP even easier.
-
Faster bulk INSERT/REPLACE/DELETE via JSON over HTTP: previously you could provide multiple write commands via HTTP JSON protocol, but they were processed one by one, now they are handled as a single transaction.
-
#720 Nested filters support in JSON protocol. Previously you couldn't code things like
a=1 and (b=2 or c=3)
in JSON:must
(AND),should
(OR) andmust_not
(NOT) worked only on the highest level. Now they can be nested. -
Support for Chunked transfer encoding in the HTTP protocol. You can now use chunked transfer in your application to transmit large batches with reduced resource consumption (since calculating
Content-Length
is unnecessary). On the server side, Manticore now always processes incoming HTTP data in a streaming manner, without waiting for the entire batch to be transferred as before, which:- reduces peak RAM usage, lowering the risk of OOM
- decreases response time (our tests indicated an 11% reduction for processing a 100MB batch)
- allows you to bypass max_packet_size and transfer batches much larger than the maximum allowed value of
max_packet_size
(128MB), for example, 1GB at a time.
-
#719 HTTP interface support of
100 Continue
: now you can transfer large batches fromcurl
(including curl libraries used by various programming languages) which by default doesExpect: 100-continue
and waits some time before actually sending the batch. Previously you had to addExpect:
header, now it's not needed. -
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Pseudo sharding is enabled by default. If you want to disable it make sure you add
pseudo_sharding = 0
to sectionsearchd
of your Manticore configuration file. -
Having at least one full-text field in a real-time/plain index is not mandatory anymore. You can now use Manticore even in cases not having anything to do with full-text search.
-
Fast fetching for attributes backed by Manticore Columnar Library: queries like
select * from <columnar table>
are now much faster than previously, especially if there are many fields in the schema. -
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Implicit cutoff. Manticore now doesn't spend time and resources processing data you don't need in the result set which will be returned. The downside is that it affects
total_found
in SHOW META and hits.total in JSON output. It is now only accurate in case you seetotal_relation: eq
whiletotal_relation: gte
means the actual number of matching documents is greater than thetotal_found
value you've got. To retain the previous behaviour you can use search optioncutoff=0
, which makestotal_relation
alwayseq
. -
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: All full-text fields are now stored by default. You need to use
stored_fields =
(empty value) to make all fields non-stored (i.e. revert to the previous behaviour). -
#715 HTTP JSON supports search options.
- ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Index meta file format change. Previously meta files (
.meta
,.sph
) were in binary format, now it's just json. The new Manticore version will convert older indexes automatically, but:- you can get warning like
WARNING: ... syntax error, unexpected TOK_IDENT
- you won't be able to run the index with previous Manticore versions, make sure you have a backup
- you can get warning like
- ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Session state support with help of HTTP keep-alive. This makes HTTP stateful when the client supports it too. For example, using the new /cli endpoint and HTTP keep-alive (which is on by default in all browsers) you can call
SHOW META
afterSELECT
and it will work the same way it works via mysql. Note, previouslyConnection: keep-alive
HTTP header was supported too, but it only caused reusing the same connection. Since this version it also makes the session stateful. - You can now specify
columnar_attrs = *
to define all your attributes as columnar in the plain mode which is useful in case the list is long. - Faster replication SST
- ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Replication protocol has been changed. If you are running a replication cluster, then when upgrading to Manticore 5 you need to:
- stop all your nodes first cleanly
- and then start the node which was stopped last with
--new-cluster
(run toolmanticore_new_cluster
in Linux). - read about restarting a cluster for more details.
- Replication improvements:
- Faster SST
- Noise resistance which can help in case of unstable network between replication nodes
- Improved logging
- Security improvement: Manticore now listens on
127.0.0.1
instead of0.0.0.0
in case nolisten
at all is specified in config. Even though in the default configuration which is shipped with Manticore Search thelisten
setting is specified and it's not typical to have a configuration with nolisten
at all, it's still possible. Previously Manticore would listen on0.0.0.0
which is not secure, now it listens on127.0.0.1
which is usually not exposed to the Internet. - Faster aggregation over columnar attributes.
- Increased
AVG()
accuracy: previously Manticore usedfloat
internally for aggregations, now it usesdouble
which increases the accuracy significantly. - Improved support for JDBC MySQL driver.
DEBUG malloc_stats
support for jemalloc.- optimize_cutoff is now available as a per-table setting which can be set when you CREATE or ALTER a table.
- ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: query_log_format is now
sphinxql
by default. If you are used toplain
format you need to addquery_log_format = plain
to your configuration file. - Significant memory consumption improvements: Manticore consumes significantly less RAM now in case of long and intensive insert/replace/optimize workload in case stored fields are used.
- shutdown_timeout default value was increased from 3 seconds to 60 seconds.
- Commit ffd0 Support for Java mysql connector >= 6.0.3: in Java mysql connection 6.0.3 they changed the way they connect to mysql which broke compatibility with Manticore. The new behaviour is now supported.
- Commit 1da6 disabled saving a new disk chunk on loading an index (e.g. on searchd startup).
- Issue #746 Support for glibc >= 2.34.
- Issue #784 count 'VIP' connections separately from usual (non-VIP). Previously VIP connections were counted towards the
max_connections
limit, which could cause "maxed out" error for non-VIP connections. Now VIP connections are not counted towards the limit. Current number of VIP connections can be also seen inSHOW STATUS
andstatus
. - ID can now be specified explicitly.
- Issue #687 support zstd compression for mysql proto
- ⚠️ BM25F formula has been slightly updated to improve search relevance. This only affects search results in case you use function BM25F(), it doesn't change behaviour of the default ranking formula.
- ⚠️ Changed behaviour of REST /sql endpoint:
/sql?mode=raw
now requires escaping and returns an array. - ⚠️ Format change of the response of
/bulk
INSERT/REPLACE/DELETE requests:- previously each sub-query constituted a separate transaction and resulted in a separate response
- now the whole batch is considered a single transaction, which returns a single response
- ⚠️ Search options
low_priority
andboolean_simplify
now require a value (0/1
): previously you could doSELECT ... OPTION low_priority, boolean_simplify
, now you need to doSELECT ... OPTION low_priority=1, boolean_simplify=1
. - ⚠️ If you are using old php, python or java clients please follow the corresponding link and find an updated version. The old versions are not fully compatible with Manticore 5.
- ⚠️ HTTP JSON requests are now logged in different format in mode
query_log_format=sphinxql
. Previously only full-text part was logged, now it's logged as is.
-
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: because of the new structure when you upgrade to Manticore 5 it's recommended to remove old packages before you install the new ones:
- RPM-based:
yum remove manticore*
- Debian and Ubuntu:
apt remove manticore*
- RPM-based:
-
New deb/rpm packages structure. Previous versions provided:

(main search daemon) and all needed for itmanticore-tools
withindexer
andindextool
manticore
including everythingmanticore-all

- Pseudo-sharding support for real-time indexes and full-text queries. In previous release we added limited pseudo sharding support. Starting from this version you can get all benefits of the pseudo sharding and your multi-core processor by just enabling searchd.pseudo_sharding. The coolest thing is that you don't need to do anything with your indexes or queries for that, just enable it and if you have free CPU it will be used to lower your response time. It supports plain and real-time indexes for full-text, filtering and analytical queries. For example, here is how enabling pseudo sharding can make most queries' response time in average about 10x lower on Hacker news curated comments dataset multiplied 100 times (116 million docs in a plain index).
- Debian Bullseye is now supported.
- PQ transactions are now atomic and isolated. Previously PQ transactions support was limited. It enables much faster REPLACE into PQ, especially when you need to replace a lot of rules at once. Performance details:
- 4.0.2
- 4.2.0
It takes 48 seconds to insert 1M PQ rules and 406 seconds to REPLACE just 40K in 10K batches.

- PR #598 bigint support for
YEAR()
and other timestamp functions. - Commit 8e85 Adaptive rt_mem_limit. Previously Manticore Search was collecting exactly up to
rt_mem_limit
of data before saving a new disk chunk to disk, and while saving was still collecting up to 10% more (aka double-buffer) to minimize possible insert suspension. If that limit was also exhausted, adding new documents was blocked until the disk chunk was fully saved to disk. The new adaptive limit is built on the fact that we have auto-optimize now, so it's not a big deal if disk chunks do not fully respectrt_mem_limit
and start flushing a disk chunk earlier. So, now we collect up to 50% ofrt_mem_limit
and save that as a disk chunk. Upon saving we look at the statistics (how much we've saved, how many new documents have arrived while saving) and recalculate the initial rate which will be used next time. For example, if we saved 90 million documents, and another 10 million docs arrived while saving, the rate is 90%, so we know that next time we can collect up to 90% ofrt_mem_limit
before starting flushing another disk chunk. The rate value is calculated automatically from 33.3% to 95%. - Issue #628 unpack_zlib for PostgreSQL source. Thank you, Dmitry Voronin for the contribution.

Full support of Manticore Columnar Library. Previously Manticore Columnar Library was supported only for plain indexes. Now it's supported:
- in real-time indexes for
INSERT
,REPLACE
,DELETE
,OPTIMIZE
- in replication
- in
ALTER
- in
indextool --check
- in real-time indexes for
-
Automatic indexes compaction (Issue #478). Finally, you don't have to call OPTIMIZE manually or via a crontask or other kind of automation. Manticore now does it for you automatically and by default. You can set default compaction threshold via optimize_cutoff global variable.
-
Chunk snapshots and locks system revamp. These changes may be invisible from outside at first glance, but they improve the behaviour of many things happening in real-time indexes significantly. In a nutshell, previously most Manticore data manipulation operations relied on locks heavily, now we use disk chunk snapshots instead.
-
Significantly faster bulk INSERT performance into a real-time index. For example on Hetzner's server AX101 with SSD, 128 GB of RAM and AMD's Ryzen™ 9 5950X (16*2 cores) with 3.6.0 you could get 236K docs per second inserted into a table with schema
name text, email string, description text, age int, active bit(1)
(defaultrt_mem_limit
, batch size 25000, 16 concurrent insert workers, 16 million docs inserted overall). In 4.0.2 the same concurrency/batch/count gives 357K docs per second. -
ALTER can add/remove a full-text field (in RT mode). Previously it could only add/remove an attribute.
-
🔬 Experimental: pseudo-sharding for full-scan queries - allows to parallelize any non-full-text search query. Instead of preparing shards manually you can now just enable new option searchd.pseudo_sharding and expect up to
CPU cores
lower response time for non-full-text search queries. Note it can easily occupy all existing CPU cores, so if you care not only about latency, but throughput too - use it with caution.
- Linux Mint and Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo are supported via APT repository

- custom startup flags for systemd. Now you don't need to start searchd manually in case you need to run Manticore with some specific startup flag
- new function LEVENSHTEIN() which calculates Levenshtein distance
- added new searchd startup flags
--replay-flags=ignore-trx-errors
and--replay-flags=ignore-all-errors
so one can still start searchd if the binlog is corrupted - Issue #621 - expose errors from RE2
- more accurate COUNT(DISTINCT) for distributed indexes consisting of local plain indexes
- FACET DISTINCT to remove duplicates when you do faceted search
- exact form modifier doesn't require morphology now and works for indexes with infix/prefix search enabled
- the new version can read older indexes, but the older versions can't read Manticore 4's indexes
- removed implicit sorting by id. Sort explicitly if required

total
in SHOW META, but nottotal_found
which is the actual number of found documents.
- make sure you a stop Manticore 3 cleanly:
- no binlog files should be in
/var/lib/manticore/binlog/
(onlybinlog.meta
should be in the directory) - otherwise the indexes Manticore 4 can't reply binlogs for won't be run
- no binlog files should be in
- the new version can read older indexes, but the older versions can't read Manticore 4's indexes, so make sure you make a backup if you want to be able to rollback the new version easily
- if you run a replication cluster make sure you:
- stop all your nodes first cleanly
- and then start the node which was stopped last with
--new-cluster
(run toolmanticore_new_cluster
in Linux). - read about restarting a cluster for more details
- Lots of replication issues have been fixed:
- Commit 696f - fixed crash during SST on joiner with active index; added sha1 verify at joiner node at writing file chunks to speed up index loading; added rotation of changed index files at joiner node on index load; added removal of index files at joiner node when active index gets replaced by a new index from donor node; added replication log points at donor node for sending files and chunks
- Commit b296 - crash on JOIN CLUSTER in case the address is incorrect
- Commit 418b - while initial replication of a large index the joining node could fail with
ERROR 1064 (42000): invalid GTID, (null)
, the donor could become unresponsive while another node was joining - Commit 6fd3 - hash could be calculated wrong for a big index which could result in replication failure

Maintenance release before Manticore 4
- Support for Manticore Columnar Library for plain indexes. New setting columnar_attrs for plain indexes
- Support for Ukrainian Lemmatizer
- Fully revised histograms. When building an index Manticore also builds histograms for each field in it, which it then uses for faster filtering. In 3.6.0 the algorithm was fully revised and you can get a higher performance if you have a lot of data and do a lot of filtering.
- tool
manticore_new_cluster [--force]
useful for restarting a replication cluster via systemd - --drop-src for
indexer --merge
- new mode
blend_mode='trim_all'

- Commit ff71 - TRUNCATE WITH RECONFIGURE worked wrong with stored fields
- New binlog format: you need to make a clean stop of Manticore before upgrading
- Index format slightly changes: the new version can read you existing indexes fine, but if you decide to downgrade from 3.6.0 to an older version the newer indexes will be unreadable
- Replication format change: don't replicate from an older version to 3.6.0 and vice versa, switch to the new version on all your nodes at once
reverse_scan
is deprecated. Make sure you don't use this option in your queries since 3.6.0 since they will fail otherwise- As of this release we don't provide builds for RHEL6, Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Trusty any more. If it's mission critical for you to have them supported contact us
- No more implicit sorting by id. If you rely on it make sure to update your queries accordingly
- Search option
reverse_scan
has been deprecated
- New Python, Javascript and Java clients are generally available now and are well documented in this manual.
- automatic drop of a disk chunk of a real-time index. This optimization enables dropping a disk chunk automatically when OPTIMIZing a real-time index when the chunk is obviously not needed any more (all the documents are suppressed). Previously it still required merging, now the chunk can be just dropped instantly. The cutoff option is ignored, i.e. even if nothing is actually merged an obsoleted disk chunk gets removed. This is useful in case you maintain retention in your index and delete older documents. Now compacting such indexes will be faster.
- standalone NOT as an option for SELECT
- Issue #453 New option indexer.ignore_non_plain=1 is useful in case you run
indexer --all
and have not only plain indexes in the configuration file. Withoutignore_non_plain=1
you'll get a warning and a respective exit code. - SHOW PLAN ... OPTION format=dot and EXPLAIN QUERY ... OPTION format=dot enable visualization of full-text query plan execution. Useful for understanding complex queries.
indexer --verbose
is deprecated as it never added anything to the indexer output- For dumping watchdog's backtrace signal
USR2
is now to be used instead ofUSR1
- Issue #423 cyrillic char period call snippets retain mode don't highlight
- Issue #435 RTINDEX - GROUP N BY expression select = fatal crash
- Commit 2b3b searchd status shows Segmentation fault when in cluster
- Commit 9dd2 'SHOW INDEX index.N SETTINGS' doesn't address chunks >9
- Issue #389 Bug that crashes Manticore
- Commit fba1 Converter creates broken indexes
- Commit eecd stopword_step=0 vs CALL SNIPPETS()
- Commit ea68 count distinct returns 0 at low max_matches on a local index
- Commit 362f When using aggregation stored texts are not returned in hits
- OPTIMIZE reduces disk chunks to a number of chunks ( default is
2* No. of cores
) instead of a single one. The optimal number of chunks can be controlled by cutoff option. - NOT operator can be now used standalone. By default it is disabled since accidental single NOT queries can be slow. It can be enabled by setting new searchd directive not_terms_only_allowed to
0
. - New setting max_threads_per_query sets how many threads a query can use. If the directive is not set, a query can use threads up to the value of threads.
Per
SELECT
query the number of threads can be limited with OPTION threads=N overriding the globalmax_threads_per_query
. - Percolate indexes can be now be imported with IMPORT TABLE.
- HTTP API
/search
receives basic support for faceting/grouping by new query nodeaggs
.
- If no replication listen directive is declared, the engine will try to use ports after the defined 'sphinx' port, up to 200.
listen=...:sphinx
needs to be explicit set for SphinxSE connections or SphinxAPI clients.- SHOW INDEX STATUS outputs new metrics:
killed_documents
,killed_rate
,disk_mapped_doclists
,disk_mapped_cached_doclists
,disk_mapped_hitlists
anddisk_mapped_cached_hitlists
. - SQL command
status
now outputsQueue\Threads
andTasks\Threads
.
dist_threads
is completely deprecated now, searchd will log a warning if the directive is still used.
The official Docker image is now based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

This release took so long, because we were working hard on changing multitasking mode from threads to coroutines. It makes configuration simpler and queries parallelization much more straightforward: Manticore just uses given number of threads (see new setting threads) and the new mode makes sure it's done in the most optimal way.
-
Changes in highlighting:
- any highlighting that works with several fields (
highlight({},'field1, field2'
) orhighlight
in json queries) now applies limits per-field by default. - any highlighting that works with plain text (
highlight({}, string_attr)
orsnippet()
now applies limits to the whole document. - per-field limits can be switched to global limits by
limits_per_field=0
option (1
by default). - allow_empty is now
0
by default for highlighting via HTTP JSON.
- any highlighting that works with several fields (
-
The same port can now be used for http, https and binary API (to accept connections from a remote Manticore instance).
listen = *:mysql
is still required for connections via mysql protocol. Manticore now detects automatically the type of client trying to connect to it except for MySQL (due to restrictions of the protocol). -
In RT mode a field can now be text and string attribute at the same time - GitHub issue #331.
In plain mode it's called
sql_field_string
. Now it's available in RT mode for real-time indexes too. You can use it as shown in the example:create table t(f string attribute indexed); insert into t values(0,'abc','abc'); select * from t where match('abc'); +---------------------+------+ | id | f | +---------------------+------+ | 2810845392541843463 | abc | +---------------------+------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) mysql> select * from t where f='abc'; +---------------------+------+ | id | f | +---------------------+------+ | 2810845392541843463 | abc | +---------------------+------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
- You can now highlight string attributes.
- SSL and compression support for SQL interface
- Support of mysql client
status
command. - Replication can now replicate external files (stopwords, exceptions etc.).
- Filter operator
in
is now available via HTTP JSON interface. expressions
in HTTP JSON.- You can now change
rt_mem_limit
on the fly in RT mode, i.e. can doALTER ... rt_mem_limit=<new value>
. - You can now use separate CJK charset tables:
chinese
,japanese
andkorean
. - thread_stack now limits maximum thread stack, not initial.
- Improved
SHOW THREADS
output. - Display progress of long
CALL PQ
inSHOW THREADS
. - cpustat, iostat, coredump can be changed during runtime with SET.
SET [GLOBAL] wait_timeout=NUM
implemented ,
- Index format has been changed. Indexes built in 3.5.0 cannot be loaded by Manticore version < 3.5.0, but Manticore 3.5.0 understands older formats.
INSERT INTO PQ VALUES()
(i.e. without providing column list) previously expected exactly(query, tags)
as the values. It's been changed to(id,query,tags,filters)
. The id can be set to 0 if you want it to be auto-generated.allow_empty=0
is a new default in highlighting via HTTP JSON interface.- Only absolute paths are allowed for external files (stopwords, exceptions etc.) in
CREATE TABLE
/ALTER TABLE
.
ram_chunks_count
was renamed toram_chunk_segments_count
inSHOW INDEX STATUS
.workers
is obsolete. There's only one workers mode now.dist_threads
is obsolete. All queries are as much parallel as possible now (limited bythreads
andjobs_queue_size
).max_children
is obsolete. Use threads to set the number of threads Manticore will use (set to the # of CPU cores by default).queue_max_length
is obsolete. Instead of that in case it's really needed use jobs_queue_size to fine-tune internal jobs queue size (unlimited by default).- All

Unfortunately, Manticore is not yet 100% bug-free, although the development team is working hard towards that goal. You may encounter some issues from time to time. It is crucial to report as much information as possible about each bug to fix it effectively. To fix a bug, either it needs to be reproduced and fixed or its cause needs to be deduced based on the information you provide. To help with this, please follow the instructions below.
Bugs and feature requests are tracked on Github. You are welcome to create a new ticket and describe your bug in detail to save time for both you and the developers.
Updates to the documentation (what you are reading now) are also done on Github.
Manticore Search is written in C++, which is a low-level programming language that allows for direct communication with the computer for faster performance. However, there is a drawback to this approach as in rare cases, it may not be possible to elegantly handle a bug by writing an error to a log and skipping the processing of the command that caused the problem. Instead, the program may crash, resulting in it stopping completely and needing to be restarted.
When Manticore Search crashes, it is important to let the Manticore team know by submitting a bug report on GitHub or through Manticore's professional services in your private helpdesk. The Manticore team requires the following information:
- The searchd log
- The coredump
- The query log
Additionally, it would be helpful if you could do the following:
- Run gdb to inspect the coredump:
gdb /usr/bin/searchd </path/to/coredump>
- Find the crashed thread ID in the coredump file name (make sure you have
%p
in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern), e.g.core.work_6.29050.server_name.1637586599
means thread_id=29050 - In gdb run:
set pagination off info threads # find thread number by it's id (e.g. for `LWP 29050` it will be thread number 8 thread apply all bt thread <thread number> bt full info locals quit
- Provide the outputs
If Manticore Search hangs, you need to collect some information that may be useful in understanding the cause. Here's how you can do it:
-
Run
show threads option format=all
trough a VIP port -
collect the lsof output output, as hanging can be caused by too many connections or open file descriptors.
lsof -p `cat /var/run/manticore/searchd.pid`
-
Dump the core:
gcore `cat /var/run/manticore/searchd.pid`
(It will save the dump to the current directory.)
-
Install and run gdb:
gdb /usr/bin/searchd `cat /var/run/manticore/searchd.pid`
Note that this will halt your running searchd, but if it's already hanging, it shouldn't be a problem.
-
In gdb run:
set pagination off info threads thread apply all bt quit
-
Collect all the outputs and files and provide them in a bug report.
For experts: the macros added in this commit can be helpful in debugging.
- make sure you run searchd with
--coredump
. To avoid modifying scripts, you can use the https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Starting_the_server/Linux#Custom-startup-flags-using-systemd , method. For example::
[root@srv lib]# systemctl set-environment _ADDITIONAL_SEARCHD_PARAMS='--coredump'
[root@srv lib]# systemctl restart manticore
[root@srv lib]# ps aux|grep searchd
mantico+ 1955 0.0 0.0 61964 1580 ? S 11:02 0:00 /usr/bin/searchd --config /etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf --coredump
mantico+ 1956 0.6 0.0 392744 2664 ? Sl 11:02 0:00 /usr/bin/searchd --config /etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf --coredump
-
Ensure that your operating system allows you to save core dumps by checking that:
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
is not empty. This is the location where the core dumps will be saved. To save core dumps to a file such ascore.searchd.1773.centos-4gb-hel1-1.1636454937
, run the following command:echo "/cores/core.%e.%p.%h.%t" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
-
searchd should be started with
ulimit -c unlimited
. If you start Manticore using systemctl, it will automatically set the limit to infinity as indicated by the following line in the manticore.service file:[root@srv lib]# grep CORE /lib/systemd/system/manticore.service LimitCORE=infinity
Manticore Search and Manticore Columnar Library are written in C++, which results in compiled binary files that execute optimally on your operating system. However, when running a binary, your system does not have full access to the names of variables, functions, methods, and classes. This information is provided in separate "debuginfo" or "symbol packages."
Debug symbols are essential for troubleshooting and debugging, as they allow you to visualize the system state when it crashed, including the names of functions. Manticore Search provides a backtrace in the searchd log and generates a coredump if run with the --coredump flag. Without symbols, all you will see is internal offsets, making it difficult or impossible to decode the cause of the crash. If you need to make a bug report about a crash, the Manticore team will often require debug symbols to assist you.
To install Manticore Search/Manticore Columnar Library debug symbols, you will need to install the *debuginfo*
package for CentOS, the *dbgsym*
package for Ubuntu and Debian, or the *dbgsymbols*
package for Windows and macOS. These packages should be the same version as the installed Manticore. For example, if you installed Manticore Search in Centos 8 from the package https://repo.manticoresearch.com/repository/manticoresearch/release/centos/8/x86_64/manticore-4.0.2_210921.af497f245-1.el8.x86_64.rpm , the corresponding package with symbols would be https://repo.manticoresearch.com/repository/manticoresearch/release/centos/8/x86_64/manticore-debuginfo-4.0.2_210921.af497f245-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
Note that both packages have the same commit id af497f245
, which corresponds to the commit that this version was built from.
If you have installed Manticore from a Manticore APT/YUM repository, you can use one of the following tools:
debuginfo-install
in CentOS 7dnf debuginfo-install
CentOS 8find-dbgsym-packages
in Debian and Ubuntu
to find a debug symbols package for you.
- Find the build ID in the output of
file /usr/bin/searchd
:
[root@srv lib]# file /usr/bin/searchd
/usr/bin/searchd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=2c582e9f564ea1fbeb0c68406c271ba27034a6d3, stripped
In this case, the build ID is 2c582e9f564ea1fbeb0c68406c271ba27034a6d3.
- Find symbols in
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id
like this:
[root@srv ~]# ls -la /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2c/582e9f564ea1fbeb0c68406c271ba27034a6d3*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Nov 9 10:42 /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2c/582e9f564ea1fbeb0c68406c271ba27034a6d3 -> ../../../../bin/searchd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 27 Nov 9 10:42 /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2c/582e9f564ea1fbeb0c68406c271ba27034a6d3.debug -> ../../usr/bin/searchd.debug
To fix your bug, developers often need to reproduce it locally. To do this, they need your configuration file, table files, binlog (if present), and sometimes source data (such as data from external storages or XML/CSV files) and queries.
Attach your data when you create a ticket on Github. If the data is too large or sensitive, you can upload it to our write-only S3 storage at s3://s3.manticoresearch.com/write-only/
. Here's how you can do it using the Minio client:
- Install the client https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#install-mc For example on 64-bit Linux:
curl https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc \
--create-dirs \
-o $HOME/minio-binaries/mc
chmod +x $HOME/minio-binaries/mc
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/minio-binaries/
- Add our s3 host (use full path to executable or change into its directory):
cd $HOME/minio-binaries
and then./mc config host add manticore http://s3.manticoresearch.com:9000 manticore manticore
- Copy your files (use full path to executable or change into its directory):
cd $HOME/minio-binaries
and then./mc cp -r issue-1234/ manticore/write-only/issue-1234
. Make sure the folder name is unique and best if it corresponds to the issue on GitHub where you described the bug.

All debug XXX
commands should be regarded as non-stable and subject to modification at any time, so don't be surprised if they change. This example output may not reflect the actual available commands, so try it on your system to see what is available on your instance. Additionally, there is no detailed documentation provided aside from this short 'meaning' column.
As a quick illustration, two commands available only to VIP clients are described below - shutdown and crash. Both require a token, which can be generated with the debug token subcommand, and added to the shutdown_token param in the searchd section of the config file. If no such section exists, or if the provided password hash does not match the token stored in the config, the subcommands will do nothing.

The subcommand shutdown
will send a TERM signal to the server, causing it to shut down. This can be dangerous, as nobody wants to accidentally stop a production service. Therefore, it requires a VIP connection and the password to be used.
The subcommand crash
literally causes a crash. It may be used for testing purposes, such as to test how the system manager maintains the service's liveness or to test the feasibility of tracking coredumps.
If some commands are found to be useful in a more general context, they may be moved from the debug subcommands to a more stable and generic location (as exemplified by the debug tasks
and debug sched
in the table).
