 ## Description
 
-Fluent-plugin-groonga is fluentd plugin collection for
-[groonga](http://groonga.org/) users. Groonga users can replicate
-their data by fluent-plugin-groonga.
+Fluent-plugin-groonga is a Fluentd plugin collection to use
+[Groonga](http://groonga.org/) with Fluentd. Fluent-plugin-groonga
+supports the following two usages:
+
+  * Store logs collected by Fluentd to Groonga.
+  * Implement replication system for Groonga.
+
+The first usage is normal usage. You can store logs to Groonga and
+find logs by full-text search.
+
+The second usage is for Groonga users. Groonga itself doesn't support
+replication. But Groonga users can replicate their data by
+fluent-plugin-groonga.
 
 Fluent-plugin-groonga includes an input plugin and an output
 plugin. Both of them are named `groonga`.
 
-The input plugin provides groonga compatible interface. It means that
-HTTP and GQTP interface. You can use the input plugin as groonga
-server. The input plugin receives groonga commands and sends them to
-the output plugin through zero or more fluentds.
+If you want to use fluent-plugin-groonga to store logs to Groonga, you
+need to use only `groonga` output plugin.
+
+The following configuration stores all data in `/var/log/messages`
+into Groonga:
+
+    <source>
+      type tail
+      format syslog
+      path /var/log/syslog.1
+      pos_file /tmp/messages.pos
+      tag log.messages
+      read_from_head true
+    </source>
+
+    <match log.**>
+      type groonga
+      table logs
+
+      protocol http
+      host 127.0.0.1
+
+      buffer_type file
+      buffer_path /tmp/buffer
+      flush_interval 1

 ## Usage
 
+There are two usages:
+
+  * Store logs collected by Fluentd to Groonga.
+  * Implement replication system for Groonga.
+
+They are described in other sections.
+
+### Store logs into Groonga
+
+You need to use `groonga` output plugin to store logs into Groonga.
+
+The output plugin has auto schema define feature. So you don't need to
+define schema in Groonga before running Fluentd. You just run Groonga.
+
+There is one required parameter:
+
+  * `table`: It specifies table name for storing logs.
+
+Here is a minimum configuration:
+
+    <match log.**>
+      type groonga
+      table logs
+    </match>
+
+The configuration stores logs into `logs` table in Groonga that runs
+on `localhost`.
+
+There are optional parameters:
+
+  * `protocol`: It specifies protocol to communicate Groonga server.
+    * Available values: `http`, `gqtp`, `command`
+    * Default: `http`
+  * `host`: It specifies host name or IP address of Groonga server.
+    * Default: `127.0.0.1`
+  * `port`: It specifies port number of Groonga server.
+    * Default for `http` protocol: `10041`
+    * Default for `gqtp` protocol: `10043`
+
+Here is a configuration that specifies optional parameters explicitly:
+
+    <match log.**>
+      type groonga
+      table logs
+
+      protocol http
+      host 127.0.0.1
+      port 10041
+    </match>
+
+`groonga` output plugin supports buffer. So you can use buffer related
+parameters. See
+[Buffer Plugin Overview | Fluentd](http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/buffer-plugin-overview)
+for details.
+
+Note that there is special tag name. You can't use
+`groonga.command.XXX` tag name for this usage. It means that you can't
+use the following configuration:
+
+    <match groonga.command.*>
+      type groonga
+      # ...
+    </match>
+
+`groonga.command.XXX` tag name is reserved for implementing
+replication system for Groonga.
+
+### Implement replication system for Groonga
+
+See the following documents how to implement replication system for
+Groonga:
+
 * [Configuration](doc/text/configuration.md)
   ([on the Web](http://groonga.org/fluent-plugin-groonga/en/file.configuration.html))
 * [Constitution](doc/text/constitution.md)
